A Heartfelt Note:
Alia stood by the Kapoors' side throughout and was even photographed video-calling Rishi's daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, who was given permission to fly down from Delhi to Mumbai but could not reach on time for Rishi's last rites. Rishiji will always be in our prayers. Rest in peace Rishi Kapoor!!
