Rakesh says RK was Rishi's a pillar of strength

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor's demise has been as big a blow to the entire film industry as that of Irrfan Khan. While Irrfan was a super talented actor who emerged years after Rishi's peak years in the Hindi film industry, he carved his own niche in Bollywood. On the other hand, Rishi was a gem, an actor par excellence and someone who was one of the very pillars of Hindi cinema. He belonged to the era when films were seeing Western influences and Rishi was one of the front runners in introducing new trends in India through cinema. Be it his variety of sweaters or his shiny outfits or even his dafli, Rishi was THE trend-setter. And so, when the beloved actor passed away, his demise was mourned by the entire nation. His fellow stars who had shared screen space with him were deeply affected and his pals from the industry could not believe the news. One of them was his close friend actor Rakesh Roshan. He recently opened up in an interview about the morning when he found out about Rishi.
