It was a sad day for the entire Kapoor family as Krishna Kapoor, wife of late actor Raj Kapoor, passed away at the age of 87. One of the most influential ladies in the film fraternity, she was a woman of substance. She was extremely close to her grandchildren and we believe Ranbir Kapoor was her favourite. Even the Sanju star was very fond of his granny dearest and he'll miss her the most after her sudden demise. Remember the time when RK Jr had moved out of his apartment he shared with ex-girlfriend, Katrina Kaif? He came to stay with his grandmother until his bachelor pad was being designed by Gauri Khan.  However, despite his fondness for her, the actor was unable to attend her funeral ceremony and we know why. Krishna Raj Kapoor Was a Woman of Substance and This Incident With Nargis Dutt Is a Proof of It.

As per a report in PeepingMoon, both wife Neetu Singh and son Ranbir have accompanied Rishi Kapoor for his treatment in the US. This is the reason why they couldn't attend the last rites of Krishna Kapoor. Well at least physically! Yes, the actor was virtually present throughout the ceremony, thanks to girlfriend, Alia Bhatt. You can see the actress on a video call with someone in this video that's going viral on the social media. We bet the person on the other side was her beau Ranbir Kapoor, who couldn't pay his last respect to his grandmother. Yea, the quality is too bad and it's hard to decode if that's RK Jr really but who else would it be? Of course, the occasion wasn't apt for her to video call anyone else. Raj Kapoor's Wife Krishna Raj Kapoor Passes Away; Granddaughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahani Shares A Heartfelt Message on Instagram.

In many of his interviews, Ranbir has 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. Nonetheless, we are glad that Alia could make him a part of the ceremony that was so important for him.
