Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar, who was seen in Henna that Chimpu produced, also mourned his death. She recalled how wonderful a person was Rajiv and how they had great times during Henna.

In an interview with Times of India, Zeba said, “I’m absolutely devastated to hear this sudden, very tragic news, I just don’t know what to say. I’m in touch with Daboo (Randhir), who has been through so much these past few years, losing his dear mother and siblings. Recently I was not in touch with (Rajiv) Chimpu directly but asked about him and Daboo always said that he was fine.”

She further added that Rajiv Kapoor was an adorable person, he was very sweet, sensitive and kind, “We spent a lot of time together during the production of ‘Henna’ and had some great times. He had a wonderful sense of humour like all the Kapoors do, my memories with him are all of delightful times, fun and laughter.”
