But, the Raj Kapoor starrer turned out to be a big box office debacle even after receiving the critical claim. At a very young age, he won National Award for Best Child Artiste for his role in Mera Naam Joker. He was the third generation of the Kapoors who witnessed tremendous success in the film industry after his grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor and father Raj Kapoor. But, the actor left behind a big legacy with his work. He was married to actor Dimple Kapadia and has two daughters Twinkle and Rinke.Actor Rishi Kapoor passed away on April 30, 2020, after his prolonged battle with leukemia. He then entered politics and was a Lok Sabha member for Congress. He starred in movies like Aradhana, Ittefaq, Haathi mere saathi, Aapki kasam, Saccha jhoota and Anand. He won a talent contest and got his break with Akhri Khat. He befriended Ravi Kapoor and both adopted the screen names Rajesh and Jeetendra respectively. He then came to Mumbai from Amritsar to try his luck in films. Born Jatin Khanna and raised by foster parents, Kaka started off with theatre. Having acted in 180 films, he was declared as the First Superstar of India at the Dadasaheb Phalke Awards.
A postage stamp with his picture was also released. He passed away on 18 July 2012 and was awarded the Padma Bhushan posthumously. He has received numerous awards for his acting as well as the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award. He has many accolades to his credit – he gave 15 solo hits consecutively, he played solo lead in 106 movies, he had 35 golden jubilees and 22 silver jubilees.
