Rishi and Randhir Kapoor’s younger brother Rajiv Kapoor passed away on Tuesday, February 9. He was 58 years old. He suffered a massive cardiac arrest, following which Randhir Kapoor rushed him to Inlaks Hospital, which was the closest medical facility near their residence in Chembur. The doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Sister-in-law Neetu Kapoor posted a photo of the actor on social media and wrote, “RIP.” Rajiv Kapoor, who was also a film producer and director, was the youngest son of the legendary Raj Kapoor.
Rajiv made his acting debut with Ek Jaan Hain Hum in 1983 and starred in multiple films such as Aasmaan (1984), Lover Boy (1985), Zabardast (1985). However, none of the films could touch the popularity that was achieved by 1985’s Ram Teri Ganga Maili. He starred opposite Mandakini in the film, which was directed by his father. Last year in April, the Kapoor family had lost Rishi Kapoor. He died on April 30 after a two-year battle against cancer. Rajiv’s sister, Ritu Nanda, died in January 2020.
