Randhir Kapoor had 'dominant fear' about Rishi Kapoor's health but was shocked by Rajiv Kapoor's death

Randhir Kapoor opened up about losing his brothers Rajiv Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor within a year. Rishi died in April 2020 while Rajiv died earlier this year.

The Kapoor family lost two members in less than a year. While Rishi Kapoor died after a two-year battle with cancer in April 2020, the family mourned the death of Rajiv Kapoor earlier this year.

Randhir Kapoor talks about losing his brothers, Rishi Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor.

Now, in a new interview, their brother Randhir Kapoor has opened up about the loss. He admitted that while he had his 'fears' about Rishi's health, no one was prepared for Rajiv's death.

“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,” he told Yahoo! India.

“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," he added. He also said that he felt 'particularly sad' for Rajiv since he didn't have much success in his acting career.

"This brought back memories and these photos reminded me of my brothers who recently left us. Wherever they are, I hope they're all happy and safe. Thank you, Pawan for doing this tribute," an emotional Randhir said at the time.

Randhir also expressed his grief over the RK Studios catching fire. In 2017, a portion of the studio caught flames during which the family lost all of Raj Kapoor's awards, photographs from his youth and many film posters.
