Rishi Kapoor will never be forgotten, a great actor. Bobby the first blockbuster movie, with the famous song "main shayar to nahin" blew the hearts of many, looked so charming as teenager.

I can't stop crying. Love you Rishi sahab; I grew up watching you, and your family in the movies. So much love and respect from Pakistan. We haven't gotten over the shock and grief of losing Irrfan Sahab, and now this. This is too much.

He was a jolly person, a giant in his profession, a gentleman in his outlook and secular in his attitude. The first ever movie I went to was in the 1950’s in a Cinema Hall called “Lion Cinema” in Chittagong then East Pakistan now Bangladesh. The film was “Andaz”which starred Dilip Kumar and Rishi’s father, Raj Kapoor. RIP, good man.
