The veteran actor has often expressed how much he misses his brothers- Rishi and Rajiv Kapoor, who passed away some years ago. Back in 2021, in an interview with the Times of India, the veteran actor had said, “The last year has been a very sad time in my life. Sad is really a modest word here; worst would be apt. In a matter of 10 months, I lost both my darling brothers- Chintu (Rishi Kapoor) and Chimpu (Rajiv Kapoor). Also, I lost my mother (Krishna Kapoor) and sister (Ritu Nanda) in the last two-and-a-half years.”

Randhir Kapoor had even mentioned how he shared an extremely close bond with his brothers. And he had even shared how they spoke daily, on-call.

Sharmaji Namkeen is scheduled to release on March 31, on Amazon Prime Video. The movie features Rishi Kapoor, Paresh Rawal and Juhi Chawla. Bollywood Bubble gave the movie 4 stars.
