Kareena Kapoor Khan calls Rishi Kapoor’s Demise a “Terrible Tragedy,” reveals “Saif misses him a lot”

Rishi Kapoor’s sad demise was a big blow to the entire nation and Bollywood. Apart from being one of the most gifted actors of his time, Rishi was also known to be a family man and he cherished his time with his friends as well. 

The actor held a special bond with niece Kareena Kapoor Khan. She recently featured on the latest cover of Filmfare wherein she spoke about her beloved uncle Chintuji and how the family dealt with his sad demise. She also spoke about hubby Saif Ali Khan’s equation with the late actor.

It’s been a terrible tragedy. Like me, Chintu uncle was a Virgo. He too believed in saying things as they were. If he loved your performance, he’d tell you so. If he hated your performance, he’d say he didn’t like it. Saif misses him a lot more because he connected with him on another level. They believed they were similar actors. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to work with him.
