Rishi Kapoor left for the heavenly abode on April 30 at Sir H N Reliance hospital in Mumbai. He was 67. The actor is survived by his wife Neetu Kapoor, son Ranbir Kapoor and daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. The coronavirus lockdown ruled out the big funeral of the veteran actor. Today, there was a prayer meet held at Rishi Kapoor’s residence. A picture of Ranbir and Neetu Kapoor went viral on the internet.

Now, pictures and videos of ‘asthi visarjan’ have gone viral. In the pictures and videos, we see Ranbir Kapoor, Riddhima, Ayan Mukerji and Alia Bhatt with a few other members of the Kapoor family.

In the videos, we see Ranbir performing puja at Banganga ghat (Banganga is part of the Walkeshwar Temple Complex in Malabar Hill area of Mumbai).

Rishi Kapoor’s last rites were performed at a South Mumbai crematorium, by son Ranbir. Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan and close members of their family were part of the rituals. Due to the lockdown, only 20 people were allowed at the funeral.

Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with cancer in 2018. He went to New York for treatment and after recovering he returned back to India in 2019. His son Ranbir was always by his side and more often he used to visit his dad during his treatment. Alia Bhatt also accompanied her beau and she has been with the family as a pillar of strength through the hard times.
