One of the biggest tragedies Bollywood suffered in 2020 was actor Rishi Kapoor's passing. The veteran star left us for heavenly adobe on April 30 after a two-year battle with leukaemia. Rishi wasn't just a phenomenal actor but also a very lively and lovable human. As exhilarating as his on-screen persona, his real-life demeanour was just as entertaining. His death left his children - Riddhima Kapoor Sahani, Ranbir Kapoor, and wife Neetu Kapoor bereaved.
