The legendary Rishi Kapoor passed away in Mumbai at 67 after two years of battling with leukemia. The whole Bollywood industry was in tears and so were the fans. However, there is a video of Rishi Kapoor doing rounds of him in his hospital bed a few days before his death. Arjun Kapoor publicly expressed his distress and annoyance at such exploitation of privacy. He took to his Instagram to put up the message against this video.
He wrote, The choice to not post something is sometimes as important as to be the first to post something. Images have a lot of power lest we forget. Sometimes humanity, empathy must prevail over being first to embrace use of sly voyeuristic materia presented to you. Just sometimes.”
Shortly after, Kushal Tandon spoke about the same. Tandon put up a tweet about the video saying, "There’s a forward that a ward boy or someone from the hospital has shot of Rishi Kapoor in his hospital bed just before he passed. I saw it. And think it’s a gross violation of his privacy. If you do receive it, delete it rather than forward it further. I did."
About Rishi Kapoor's death, his elder brother Randhir told Hindustan Times, "He is no more. He has passed away,” the family and friends requested the fans to respect the restrictions and privacy. Especially in the wake of the lockdown. Rishi Kapoor passed away a day apart from Irrfan Khan. Another beloved actor of the entertainment industry.
