Rishi Kapoor was among the leading superstars of the 80s and 90s. He married Neetu Singh in 1980 and welcomed two children, Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, with her. Unfortunately, Rishi Kapoor passed away in 2020 after battling a prolonged fight with cancer. Two years after his demise, his son, Ranbir, tied the knot with Alia Bhatt, and the duo was blessed with their first child, Raha, in the same year.
