Raj Kapoor, a legend who not only changed the face of Indian cinema but also managed to take it to heights nobody could have ever thought of, needs no introduction. Known as the 'Showman of Hindi Cinema', the actor has starred in various films including 'Shree 420', 'Awara', 'Boot Polish' and 'Sangam'. He can easily be regarded as one of the most influential actors and filmmakers of Indian cinema.
Bollywood wouldn't have been the same had it not been for a pillar as strong and as enthusiastic as him. Having bestowed with various laurels, the name itself is suffice to delineate his impact. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Bhushan in 1971 and with Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1987. As long as cinema exists, the legend of Raj Kapoor will continue to inspire the generations to come.
At the age of 63, Raj Kapoor passed away on June 2, 1988 leaving behind a wealth of knowledge and an unending love for cinema. His son Rishi Kapoor, who is very active on social media, paid a tribute to his father and changed his twitter handle to 'rahega sada' which marks the lyrics of a very famous song 'Jeena Yaha Marna Yaha' from his iconic film 'Mera Naam Joker'. Time and again, Rishi Kapoor has shared personal moments from the lives of Kapoor family for the fans all around.
