Rishi Kapoor, beloved Bollywood star of the 1970's and 80's and scion of the famed Kapoor acting family, has died. He was 67.
His death was confirmed by his brother Randhir, who told Indian news agency PTI, "He is no more. He has passed away." Kapoor had been battling cancer for the last two years and had also undergone treatment in New York last year before returning to Mumbai.
On Wednesday night, he was admitted to hospital complaining of breathing problems. Born in Mumbai into the Kapoor acting dynasty, widely considered the first family of Bollywood, he was the son of legendary actor-director Raj and grandson of iconic theatre and film star Prithviraj.
