Rishi Kapoor Demise: Amitabh Bachchan Pours His Heart Out; Says ' Never Visited Him In Hospital, Never Wanted To See Distress On His Smiling Face'

Rishi Kapoor left the whole film fraternity with a massive hole and everyone who has worked with him is in a sense of shock and grief about this news. Everyone took to Twitter to express their feelings about it and one of the most active celebrities Amitabh Bachchan was among the first few to tweet about it which apparently was deleted. He did, however, write a blog later on in the day and penned down his feelings and memories with Rishi Kapoor.

Remembering Rishi Kapoor from his younger days, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “I had seen him at his home Deonar Cottage, Chembur, a young energetic, bubbly, mischief in his eyes Chintu, on those rare moments when I was privileged to have been invited to an evening at Raj ji’s house ..” He further wrote that he would see Rishi Kapoor more often after that at RK Studios when he trained as an actor for his film Bobby. “He had a walk that was confident and determined .. a stride and style that was similar to that of his grandfather, the legendary Prithvi Raj Ji .. a walk I had noticed in one of his earlier films .. that walk .. I never found it in any other ..,” he wrote.

On working together in films, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “We worked in several films together ..When he spoke his lines, you believed every word of it .. there was never an alternative .. its genuineness was beyond question ..And there has never been any other, that could lip sync a song as perfectly as he would .. never ..His playful attitude on set was infectious .. even in the most grave sequences he would discover that comedic spark and we would all just crack up .. !!”

Towards the end, Amitabh Bachchan wrote about the time of his treatment and how he never visited Chintuji in the hospital because he never wanted to see distress on his smiling face. “During his time of diagnosis and his treatment he never ever lamented his condition .. it was always .. ‘see you soon, just a routine visit to the hospital .. I’ll be back shortly ‘. I never visited him in Hospital .. I never wanted to see distress on his smiling cherubic face ..But I am certain .. when he went, he must have gone with a gentle smile …”
