On the first anniversary of Rajiv Kapoor's death, Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, and Armaan Jain pay tribute

On the first anniversary of her late uncle Rajiv Kapoor's death, Karisma Kapoor used her Instagram stories to pay tribute to him. The actor, who was well known for his part in Ram Teri Ganga Maili, died after a heart attack last year.

Karisma shared a throwback photo of iconic filmmaker Raj Kapoor and his three sons — Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, and Rajiv Kapoor — on Instagram. "Chimpu uncle, you are missed #RajivKapoor (sic)," she wrote on the photo. Kareena Kapoor also posted the snapshot on her Instagram stories with a heart emoji.

On her side, Neetu Kapoor tweeted a snapshot of Rishi and Rajiv Kapoor. She added flower emojis to her message. "Miss you both a year already." Remembering his 'mama', actor Armaan Jain shared a lovely photo of him kissing Rajiv Kapoor while wife Annisa is seen sitting next to the latter. "We miss you and love you the most Chimpu Mama," he captioned the picture.

Rajiv Kapoor made his Bollywood debut in 1983 with Ek Jaan Hain Hum, followed by Aasmaan, Lover Boy, Zabardast, and Hum To Chale Pardes. With Ashutosh Gowarikar's Toolsidas Junior, he was set to make a comeback.

Randhir Kapoor spoke up last year about the grief and pain of losing two brothers in less than a year. He described the year as "tragic" in an interview with Yahoo! India, as he reflected on his connection with his brothers. As many readers are aware, renowned actor Rishi Kapoor died in 2020 after a long fight with cancer.

The actor-director said, "This has been the saddest period of our lives – losing two brothers within a period of nine months. We've always remained a close knit family contrary to whatever maybe the general perception. We brothers were also best friends. We didn't necessarily have to go out and meet anyone. We were happy amongst ourselves. We would drink, we would fight, we would make-up. We attended office together."

"The dominant fear was that anything could happen to my brother Rishi. After all, he was suffering from cancer. We visited him turn by turn, when he was being treated in America. But no one imagined that Rajiv would pass away so soon," said Randhir Kapoor.

Calling Rajiv 'the son he never had', Randhir added, "It's genuinely a huge loss for me. I remember him as a great guy, extremely talented, a loyal friend and brother. I will miss him forever."
