Senior actor, fondly called 'Chintu', Rishi Kapoor died in a Mumbai hospital on Thursday.

He was 67.

"He is no more. He has passed away," his brother Randhir Kapoor informed.

Rishi, who was suffering from cancer, was taken to the H N Reliance hospital by his family on Wednesday.

The actor returned to India last September after undergoing treatment for cancer in the US for almost a year.

In February, he was hospitalised twice.
