Meanwhile, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni shared a collage of photos remembering her dad on his first death anniversary. In the photos that Riddhima shared, she is seen striking a pose with her dad Rishi.
In one photo that sort of has the sepia filter, a young Rishi is seen with a toddler Riddhima looking into the camera while the actor holds her in his arms and strikes a pose for the click. The other photo has Riddhima and Rishi both dressed in the best if attires and posing for the photograph as Riddhima leans onto her dad's shoulder and the latter gives her a warm and affectionate hug. The two are all smiles for the picture.
Along with the photo collage, Riddhima shared a note remembering her father, Rishi Kapoor.
In her note, Riddhima expressed her desire to be called 'Mushk' by Rishi 'once more'. She also used writer Dorothy Mae Cavendish's quote to talk about how much she misses her dad. She wrote, "If only i could hear you call me mushk once more... 'Until we meet again we think about you always, we talk about you still, you have never been forgotten, and you never will. We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain, to walk and guide us through our lives, until we meet again.- Dorothy Mae Cavendish. I love you always (sic)."
For the unversed, Riddhima is called Mushk by her near and dear ones.

On April 30, 2020, Amitabh Bachchan broke the news of Rishi's death on Twitter. The actor breathed his last at 8.45 am. He was 67. Rishi was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2018. His last rites were performed in Mumbai.
Due to the nationwide lockdown imposed in the wake of COVID-19 last year, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni couldn't attend the funeral of her dad. However, a day later, she travelled by road and reached Mumbai with her daughter to be with her mom, Neetu Kapoor.
