Bollywood superstar Rishi Kapoor passed away on Thursday. Rishi was hospitalized at Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai where he took his last breath. The actor’s brother Randhir Kapoor had told that the veteran actor was having breathing difficulties but was stable. However, now he has confirmed that the actor has passed away. Reports suggest that the actor was battling cancer relapse.

The actor returned to India last September after undergoing treatment for cancer in the US for almost a year. He was previously taken to the hospital in February earlier this year after being diagnosed with an infection.
