Both Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor have said that Rishi Kapoor was not a good dancer and that, in fact, the actor had two left feet. Choreographer-turned-filmmaker Remo D'Souza, who has choreographed Ranbir Kapoor, said that the late veteran actor made up for it with his enthusiasm. "He was very energetic although both he and Neetu said that he had two left feet--I feel he had the most powerful energy any dancer could have. That was the best part of him and it was that energy that created magic on screen. He has a super sense of rhythm and was very graceful and that made him look like a professional dancer,'' insists Remo.
ETimes exclusively reported yesterday that Randhir Kapoor and five of his staff members had tested positive for COVID-19. We now have another exclusive report that Randhir has been shifted to the ICU.
Chintu was very fond of my sister Amrita, and she and I literally prayed for his health at the gurudwara while he was in NY. Neetu knew about it and kept messaging me, writing, ‘Keep praying Simi’. I met him last at the Bachchans' 2019 Diwali party and he broke through the crowds to come and hug us. He looked so good; he was slim and glowing! We talked with great affection from both sides that night. That was our last meeting.
