We were still getting to the terms with the news of Irrfan Khan's death that another tsunami hit us. Today, Bobby actor Rishi Kapoor breathed his last. The actor was battling cancer for more than two years and today, at 8.45 am, Rishi Kapoor left for his heavenly abode. It comes as a major shock to all that within 48 hours, the industry lost two of its finest gems. Irrfan Khan too lost his battle to cancer and his funeral took place yesterday afternoon. We have stumbled upon a candid picture of the two from an Eid party.
A picture of Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan deep in conversation at Javed Jaffery's Eid Party has surfaced online. The two stars connected well as they did a film called D-Day together. The film was critically acclaimed and both the celebrities received accolades for their phenomenal performance. It is very ironic that both the stars passed away on consecutive days. They'll be dearly missed.
The candid image of Irrfan and Rishi Kapoor was shared by photographer Viral Bhayani and a still from D-Day capturing the two was shared by writer Apurva Asrani. In the caption, he wrote, "Rishi Kapoor & Irrfan Khan, two very diverse acting styles, but both iconic performers. I don't know if they did any other films together, but I remember one. Ironically it was called #DDay."
