Rajiv Kapoor, 58, is no more. ETimes broke the shocking news with a very heavy heart about two hours ago. We now hear that Randhir and Rishi's younger brother Rajiv was in the city
since the last 8-10 months. Rajiv's uncle, senior actor Prem Chopra, when contacted, told ETimes, "Well, it is common knowledge in our industry that Rajiv stays in Pune. He was
here in Mumbai simply for one reason".Rajiv has a small but plush bungalow in Pune, which he has maintained very well. It so happens that Rajiv felt that he should be with his elder
brother Randhir after the COVID induced lockdown in March 2020. Thereafter, the two started staying together at their ancestral Chembur home. "Rajiv had moved in for some time to be
with Randhir, and as far as I know, he was fine. He has had a massive cardiac arrest. It is really very sad that he is no more." Prem Chopra goes on to add, "Rajiv was a very
loving nephew to me. He was a fine actor, plus he was a very gifted guy and he went on to direct 'Prem Granth', featuring Rishi Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, as well. Picture chali
nahi toh thoda bahut tension ho jata hai (When a film doesn't work well commercially, it becomes a cause for some concern)." May Rajiv Kapoor's soul rest in peace. The funeral
is expected to happen in the evening around 7 pm. ETimes stands by the Kapoor family in their hour of crisis.
