433: Rishi Kapoor — Charming Lover On-Screen to Twitter’s Angry Man - a podcast by The Quint

“He’s gone…I’m destroyed”, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan broke the news of the passing away of his friend and fellow actor Rishi Kapoor.



Even as our grief is still raw from the sudden demise of another talented actor Irrfan Khan from just the day before, April has been the harbinger of yet another bad news from Bollywood.

After two years of battling leukaemia, his family says, Rishi Kapoor passed away peacefully at the age of 67, in Mumbai's Reliance Hospital, entertaining the medical staff and being jovial till he breathed his last. 

"Bollywood's original chocolate boy", "Twitter's angry man" — Rishi Kapoor wasn't a one-track mind. As he dabbled in different roles, so did he freely speak his mind on films, politics and daily affairs.

In this podcast we trace this Bollywood veteran's journey from being born into the legendary Kapoor clan of Bollywood to his loquacious twitter personality. Tune in!
