Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir Khan also bid their goodbye to the lovable actor, sharing their memories.
We have lost one of the greats today. An amazing actor, a wonderful human being, and 100% a child of Cinema. Thank you for all the joy you brought to our lives. Thank you for being the actor and human being that you were. You will be badly missed Rishiji. Love. a. — Aamir Khan (@aamir_khan) April 30, 2020
Rest in peace chintu sirrr, kaha suna maaf , strength , peace n light to family n friends... — Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) April 30, 2020
Taapsee Pannu, Neena Gupta and other actors who got a chance to share the screen with the late actor paid their tributes.
My most favourite picture with him. Worked with him twice n the kind of brash honest compliments this man gave have never left my heart n mind. Even in his bullying there was so much love that one couldn’t help enjoy listening to him. The most entertaining stories came from him. the only costar of mine who could beat me in being ‘brutally’ honest. Sir humaari hat-trick reh gayi. I’m sure I will meet him somewhere n this hug shall be repeated with the same smile on our face. A post shared by Taapsee Pannu (@taapsee) onView this post on Instagram
???? ये दुःख काहे ख़त्म नहीं होता? In August 2011, I acted in a play written and directed by @khalidmohamed9487 , called ‘Kennedy Bridge’. After the first bell, we saw, seated quietly in a corner was Rishi Kapoor sir. His uncle, Shammi Kapoor had passed away just a few days before ... Later that night I got a call from a landline number... the voice on the other end was distinct. It was Rishi sir, calling to congratulate me on the performance... and share some tips for the future... tips that I use to this day, that I am indebted for ... Years later we met again, I had done a few films, I reminded him of where he’d first seen me...Got a rare chance to hang out with him in Melbourne few more years after that... his camaraderie with his wife was made in heaven... he’d skipped an official lunch one afternoon to go and enjoy some seafood in Melbourne... as I watched him being gently rebuked for that by Simi Garewal, it reminded me of their ‘Mera Naam Joker’ performance... it was kinda impossible to not smile around him... as an actor, he was inimitable... one of his finest performances in the later years was in ‘Agneepath’... my mind was blown... you know why you don’t see anyone do his mimicry? Cuz he was original! I am no industry insider and I still feel wounded by the loss of these two legends in the past 24 hours... men of character, of a bygone time... both of whom showed me kindness in my initial years, kindness I promise to pay forward... God give us the time and space to grieve... ????RIP sir... you were something else... condolences @neetu54 ma’am. Be strong !

Absolutely shattered and heart broken to wake up to the news of the loss of Rishi Kapoor Ji, one of the liveliest persons amongst us. The last time when I met him in NY, he was fighting the battle like a boss, with Neetu Ma’m by his side and a smile on his face. This is utterly tragic and incomprehensible. My condolences to Ranbir, Neetu Ma’m and the entire family. May his soul be resting in peace and raising a toast to a life well lived with the Gods in heaven. ????

#RishiKapoor So many memories on set. Off set. Meeting in your outhouse. “8pm sharp” your booming voice instructing me to be there. The world will never be the same without you. Tears aren’t stopping. Love you always. — kunal kohli (@kunalkohli) April 30, 2020
This week just keeps getting worse. #RishiKapoor ji, can’t believe that you’re gone. Will miss your advice and insight that you always showered me with, and of course your infectious smile. My deepest condolences to Ranbir Neetu ji and all the family members. — Vishal Bhardwaj (@VishalBhardwaj) April 30, 2020
