In fact, his last message was about healthcare workers in their battle against the Covid-19 pandemic. “We have to win this coronavirus war together,” he tweeted, requesting people to avoid resorting to violence during these troubled times. The actor hadn’t posted on anything through his account since. <div type="twitter" handle="chintskap" handlename="Rishi Kapoor" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1245650804138070016/dvKIRrPh_normal.jpg" favoritecount="35533" retweetcount="4104" status="An appeal 🙏 to all brothers and sisters from all social status and faiths.

He was the grandson of Prithviraj Kapoor and the son of Raj Kapoor — both legendary actors and film-makers. <div type="twitter" handle="narendramodi" handlename="Narendra Modi" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1249934092994375680/xX66NSZP_normal.jpg" favoritecount="66617" retweetcount="9005" status="Multifaceted, endearing and lively...this was Rishi Kapoor Ji.

In the hugely popular song Pyaar Hua, Ikraar Hua Rishi Kapoor is seen walking with both his brothers in rain on the road. And, he soon caught the acting bug — as Shashi Kapoor has often mentioned. According to Shashi’s anecdotes, Rishi used the practice dialogues, laughing and even crying in front of the mirror. Even though Mera Naam Joker didn’t fare too well at the box office, Rishi’s father, Raj Kapoor, was adamant to make another movie that would launch his son into the limelight. <div type="image" title="rishiold_edited" msid="75465407" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Film star Mr. Rishi Kapoor awaits his turn at a polling booth in Pali Hill, Bandra, 1984 - General Election.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> That’s when Bobby broke onto screens and the teenage love story — starring himself and Dimple Kapadia — launched both of them directly into stardom and breaking many a box office record. <div type="image" title="bobby_edited" msid="75465288" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Film actress Dimple Kapadia and actor Rishi Kapoor in the Bollywood movie &amp;#8216;Bobby&amp;#8217;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> He’s one of the few actors who’s proven very difficult to mimic for other actors. Over the course of his career, Rishi Kapoor co-starred with actress Neetu Singh in 15 movies — whom he eventually married. The couple has two children — Ranbir Kapoor, who also followed in the footsteps of his parents to become an actor, and Riddhima Kapoor, a designer. Rishi Kapoor vs Twitter trolls Rishi Kapoor was known for his strong opinions. Just before his death, he asked the government to keep liquor stores open — even if it’s just for a while — amid the lockdown. <div type="twitter" handle="chintskap" handlename="Rishi Kapoor" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1245650804138070016/dvKIRrPh_normal.jpg" favoritecount="18883" retweetcount="2776" status="Think.

By Komal Panchamatia Mumbai, May 3 () Veteran actor Dharmendra believes the biggest takeaway from the coronavirus pandemic should be the importance of leading a simple life. The nationwide lockdown was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 24 to contain the spread of COVID-19. Dharmendra, 84, believes people should take the lockdown "positively"."Due to lockdown there is no pollution, there is so much fresh air, the sky is so clear, everything looks beautiful. I am so happy to see this time it reminds me of the time that we lived back then. We all should take lockdown positively," the actor told in an interview."I am living life like this and I am very happy about it. I come to the city when there is work (referring to films) and when not I am happy here in my farmhouse. I am born to give happiness, entertain and inspire everyone," he added.The actor believes the pandemic is the result of the actions of humans and the only way to survive now is to live in sync with nature. "It is a very tight slap on our face from mother earth. We need to love and nurture nature. The virus has come because of us and we are suffering because of our own actions."I hope people understand and cut down on a lot of unessential things and not become greedy and be happy with what they have. Less is always good. Simplicity should be the way of life. Everyone must follow this. This is a lesson for life."Away from the fast-paced life and brouhaha of Bollywood, Dharmendra spends most of his time at his farmhouse in Lonavala. He was last seen in a full-fledged role in 2018 film "Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se" with sons Sunny and Bobby Deol.The actor often shares videos on social media, giving glimpse of vegetables and fruits grown at his farmhouse. He said he loves farming and enjoys this simple life, which he finds comforting."I am a Jat and Jats love their land and their farms. I love spending time in my farmhouse. Organic farming is our focus. There is so much greenery and freshness here. I love being in the lap of nature. It is a blessing. Whatever money I have earned, I spent everything here."The actor is saddened with the demise of two stalwarts of Indian cinema – Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor. He believes death is inevitable, but one must learn from the lives of those who have departed."We are all happy when someone is born in a family but when someone leaves us we cry and mourn. We don't learn anything from death. I believe every death teaches us something. It is all about living together with love and staying in unity but we all forget this." KKP SHD RDSRDS

However, a contradictory <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31023-0/fulltext">Lancet study</a> warns that there are no clinical benefits to patients who have tested positive for the coronavirus. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="75452521" title="Gilead's coronavirus treatment remdesivir just succeeded in a crucial study, raising hopes for a first COVID-19 drug" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), told reporters that the Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial has cut down on recovery time for patients. Lancet has not analysed NIAID’s results but the results from a study conducted in China, which was testing Remdesivir. According to the medical journal, the antiviral drug shows hope but the results are far from being conclusive. While trials should continue, a paper by <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31023-0/fulltext">John David Norrie</a> from the University of Edinburgh warns that, in the past, people have pinned their hopes on drugs like hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir-ritonavir only to be disappointed — even when randomised trials showed promise in the early days. Coronavirus recovery with Remdesivir In a lot of these early studies, recovery doesn’t necessarily mean being coronavirus-free. According to Fauci, recovery could mean many things. It could mean being hospitalized without ventilator support. It could also mean being discharged but needing oxygen support at home. At the same time, it doesn’t rule out an ideal scenario of being discharged without limitation on activities. The study that Lancet analysed also had similar constraints. On a scale to one to six, where one is being discharged and six is death, a patient’s results were considered to be successful if they only showed a decline of two points. “The study has not shown a statistically significant finding that confirms a Remdesivir treatment benefit of at least the minimally clinically important difference, nor has it ruled such a benefit out,” said the report. In cases where COVID-19 is caught early like within ten days of symptoms, were cured much faster than the others. However, these results are not statistically significant. Even Fauci pointed out that the difference in deaths — 8% in the Remdesivir group compared with 11% in the placebo — had not yet reached statistical significance. Lancet believes the results from Remdesivir are inconclusive Remdesivir may have the potential for treating coronavirus patients effectively, but as of now, it’s too soon to tell because most of the data that’s available is incomplete. The study in China, for instance, while being a well conducted double-bind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, and randomised trial — had to be terminated early, due to low enrollment. “The temptation to lower the threshold of convincing evidence must be resisted because adopting ineffective and potentially unsafe interventions risks only harm without worthwhile benefit while making it even harder to undertake trials to find truly effective and safe interventions,” said Lancet’s report. Investigators concluded that additional studies were needed to prove clinical benefit.“A larger benefit might exist, or Remdesivir might actually do harm. It is unknown—more data are needed,” it said.
