Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor breathed his last on April 30, 2020 at HN Reliance Hospital in south Mumbai. The actor was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and had also undergone treatment in New York. Rishi Kapoor’s ashes were immersed in the Banganga tank, in Malabar Hill area of Mumbai on 3rd May 2020. Neetu Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni performed pooja for Rishi Kapoor. Also present there were Alia Bhatt and Brahmastra director Ayan Mukerji.
The prayer meet was held on Saturday. Rishi Kapoor’s brother Randhir Kapoor confirmed that his ashes were immersed in Banganga as they were denied permission to go to Haridwar. While speaking to PTI, Randhir Kapoor said, “We did a prayer meet yesterday. Today we immersed his ashes in Banganga as we haven’t received permission from the authorities to go to Haridwar.” A picture from Rishi Kapoor’s prayer meet went viral on social media yesterday and showed Neetu Kapoor and Ranbir sitting next to Rishi Kapoor’s photo, looking glum.
A family source revealed that Rishi Kapoor’s daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, who was, unfortunately, unable to attend her father’s funeral, was present at the prayer meet. “There were not many people, Only five-six family members,” informed the source.
