"It's extremely shocking," shared Bakhtiar. "Just two nights before his death, I was speaking to Daboo [Randhir Kapoor] and he had told me Rishi is getting better."

"I was in touch with Rishi Ji. And before these mobile phones came into our lives, I used to call him on his land-line phone to wish him on his birthday and Diwali.... Also, [After phones] he used to me message whenever a film of Ranbir Kapoor released and I used to make it a point to go and watch it."

Said Bakhtiar, "The first day I worked with Rishi Kapoor was for a screen shoot and a photo shoot for Henna. I was totally new and unfamiliar with everything, so I was very, very nervous. But he made it quite comfortable for me and encouraged me a lot, so much so that in just 48 hours, I felt like the Kapoor family, is my family."

"I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Rishi Kapoor. It was a tremendous experience working with him. I had always admired him as a hero and an actor. But having an opportunity to work with him was nothing less than a delight and an extremely profound learning experience."

She added, "He was one of the most through professionals I have worked with. He knew everything about his work which was meticulous. He made no compromise in his performances. And just being around him and watching him work was an education."
