A video of Rishi Kapoor in the hospital has been making the rounds of the internet. The heartbreaking video shows Rishi on his hospital bed listening to his fan sing a song to him. Rishi seemed to get emotional after listening to the song after which he gave the boy a generous heartwarming blessing. But, the video was shot during the actor’s visit to the hospital early this year, contrary to social media posts that state it was shot this week before the actor’s demise.

Rishi’s wife Neetu Kapoor took to her Instagram to put out a gut-wrenching statement by the Kapoor family about Rishi’s demise. A part of their statement read, “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.
