Riddhima's Heart-Wrenching Message for Daddy Rishi will Leave you in Tears

Rishi Kapoor who was battling cancer for a long time is no more with us. The morning of April 30, 2020, turned out to be another black day for the Hindi film industry who was still recovering from the death of one of its beloved gem Irrfan Khan and then came another devastating news about Rishi Kapoor.

At the age of 67, the veteran actor left for heavenly abode. For the last few days, the actor had been unwell, following which he was admitted to Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai and last night he was shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

After giving a tough battle to Cancer, this morning at 8:45 am IST, Chintu Ji (as he was fondly called) surrendered to his illness and departed.

His daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahini who is married and stays with her in-laws in Delhi, is on her way for Mumbai and shall be reaching anytime soon tonight. She has now taken to her social media account and posted a heart-wrenching message remembering her late father.

Her message reads: "Papa I love you I will always love you - RIP my strongest warrior I will miss you everyday I will miss your FaceTime calls everyday! Until we meet again papa I love you ????"

Earlier this morning, the Kapoor family had released a statement that reads:

"A message from Rishi Kapoor’s family:

Our dear Rishi Kapoor passed away peacefully at 8:45am IST in hospital today after a two-year battle with leukemia. The doctors and medical staff at the hospital said he kept them entertained to the last. 

He remained jovial and determined to live to the fullest right through two years of treatment across two continents. Family, friends, food and films remained his focus and everyone who met him during this time was amazed at how he did not let his illness get the better of him. 

He was grateful for the love of his fans that poured in from the world over. In his passing, they would all understand that he would like to be remembered with a smile and not with tears. 

In this hour of personal loss, we also recognise the world is going through a very difficult and troubled time. There are numerous restrictions around movement and gathering in public. We would like to request all his fans and well-wishers and friends of the family to please respect the laws that are in force. 

He would not have it any other way."

We pray for Rishi Kapoor's departed soul to rest in peace and may God grant strength to the family to bear the loss.
