The Kapoor family is in a state of mourning, after the sad demise of their matriarch, Krishna Raj Kapoor. Celebs have been at their residence offering their condolences to the bereaved family. However, Rishi Kapoor's family has been conspicuous by their absence. Rishi Kapoor has been Krishna Raj Kapoor and the late Raj Kapoor's second eldest son. Not just Rishi Kapoor, even Ranbir Kapoor, her grandson, has been missing from her last rites.

However, there is no need to worry about any family rift happening. If you are following Rishi Kapoor's Twitter handle, in his last tweet, he had mentioned how he is taking a break to go to the USA for surgery. He had tweeted, "Hello all! I am taking a short leave of absence from work to go to America for some medical treatment. I urge my well wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate. It’s been 45 years “plus”of wear and tear at the movies. With your love and good wishes,I will be back soon!"
As per a report in PeepingMoon, both his wife Neetu Singh and son Ranbir had accompanied him for the treatment. This is the reason why they couldn't be present when the last rites were being performed.

In Ranbir's absence, it was his cousin Kareena Kapoor Khan who came as a support to her father Randhir Kapoor, Krishna ji's eldest son, to perform the rites. Ranbir's rumoured girlfriend Alia Bhatt was also present for the last rites.
In many of his interviews, Ranbir had claimed that he was very close to his grandmother, so it must have pained him and his father to be not present for the funeral.
We also wonder how serious is Rishi Kapoor's health complications for them to not attend the funeral. Hope he really makes a speedy and a full recovery.
