The news soon after another top actor Irrfan Khan’s death yesterday — also a victim of cancer.<br /><br />            <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="75447170" title="'Life of Pi' and 'Jurassic World' actor Irrfan Khan dies aged 53" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><br />While most baby boomers remember him as a dancing star, for millennials he is popular for his Tweets. In fact, his last message was about healthcare workers in their battle against the Covid-19 pandemic. <br /><br />“We have to win this coronavirus war together,” he tweeted, requesting people to avoid resorting to violence during these troubled times.

He has passed away."

In the hugely popular song <em>Pyaar Hua, Ikraar Hua </em>Rishi Kapoor is seen walking with both his brothers in rain on the road.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Even though <em>Mera Naam Joker</em> 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.<br /><br />              <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><br />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.<br /><br />              <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><br />He’s one of the few actors who’s proven very difficult to mimic for other actors. <br /><br />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.<br /><br /><strong>Rishi Kapoor vs Twitter trolls<br /></strong>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.<br /><br /><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.
