My condolences to Neetu ma'am, Ridhima, Ranbir and the rest of the family. Rest in peace, Sir."

Now, PeeCee wrote a column for the Time Magazine's latest issue paying a tribute to Rishi. She wrote about his colourful career as an actor and also how he experimented with his role in later stages. Priyanka had worked with him in Agneepath wherein he played a negative role. Talking about the same, Chopra wrote, "I had the privilege of working with him in Agneepath, in which he played a fierce, no-holds-barred character, someone to hate rather than love. The versatility of this genial man will never be experienced again."
