Bollywood legend Rishi Kapoor passes away at 67

Bollywood star Rishi Kapoor died Thursday in a hospital, according to local source.

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan posted the news of the 67-year-old’s demise on Twitter.

The actor was taken to HN Reliance Hospital by his family on Wednesday morning.

The Bollywood actor returned to India last September, following nearly a year of cancer treatment in the US.

Kapoor was hospitalized twice in February due to his health problems. He was admitted to a hospital with viral fever once more after his return to Mumbai, but was eventually released.

Since 2nd April, Kapoor, who was very involved on social media, didn’t post anything on his Twitter account.

Recently the actor revealed his next film, a remake of Hollywood movie “The Intern,” which also features Deepika Padukone.

Several famous personalities grieved at the loss of the incredible actor.

This is a terrible week for Indian cinema, with the passing of another legend, actor Rishi Kapoor. A wonderful actor, with a huge fan following across generations, he will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family, friends & fans all over the world, at this time of grief.
