Rishi and Simi worked together in films like ‘Mera Naam Joker’, ‘Karz’ and ‘Kabhie Kabhie’. They had a long-standing friendship with each other, and now that has all come to a crashing halt due to Rishi’s sudden demise. Simi Garewal is surely devastated. After all, she was Rishi Kapoor’s first co-star in ‘Mera Naam Joker’ where he played a young Raj Kapoor in the cult classic film.

Talking about Rishi’s death, the Kapoors issued a family statement after his passing away. Have a look at it right here:

Our dear Rishi Kapoor passed away peacefully at 8:45 am IST in hospital today after a two-year battle with leukaemia. The doctors and medical staff at the hospital said he kept them entertained to the last.

He remained jovial and determined to live to the fullest right through two years of treatment across two continents. Family, friends, food and films remained his focus and everyone who met him during this time was amazed at how he did not let his illness get the better of him.

He was grateful for the love of his fans that poured in from the world over. In his passing, they would all understand that he would like to be remembered with a smile and not with tears.

In this hour of personal loss, we also recognise the world is going through a very difficult and troubled time. There are numerous restrictions around movement and gathering in public. We would like to request all his fans and well-wishers and friends of the family to please respect the laws that are in Force.

He would not have it any other way.
