Family members of Rajiv Kapoor posted remembrance messages on his first death anniversary.

Rajiv Kapoor made his Bollywood debut with Ek Jaan Hain Hum in 1983, and followed it up with films like Aasmaan, Lover Boy, Zabardast and Hum To Chale Pardes. He was set to make a comeback with Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Toolsidas Junior.

Last year, Randhir Kapoor had opened up about the anguish and pain of losing two brothers in a span of less than a year. Speaking to Yahoo! India, he called the year ‘tragic’ as he reflected on his relationship with his brothers. As readers would know, popular actor Rishi Kapoor passed away in 2020 following a long battle with cancer.

The actor-director said, “This has been the saddest period of our lives – losing two brothers within a period of nine months. We’ve always remained a close knit family contrary to whatever maybe the general perception. We brothers were also best friends. We didn’t necessarily have to go out and meet anyone. We were happy amongst ourselves. We would drink, we would fight, we would make-up. We attended office together.”

He further shared that he lived in constant fear regarding Rishi Kapoor’s cancer. He was worried that anything could happen, which was why he visited him often. Yet, he never thought Rajiv Kapoor will pass away so suddenly. “The dominant fear was that anything could happen to my brother Rishi. After all, he was suffering from cancer. We visited him turn by turn, when he was being treated in America. But no one imagined that Rajiv would pass away so soon,” said Randhir Kapoor.

Calling Rajiv ‘the son he never had’, Randhir added, “It’s genuinely a huge loss for me. I remember him as a great guy, extremely talented, a loyal friend and brother. I will miss him forever.”
