Rajiv, son of celebrated filmmaker-actor Raj Kapoor, passed away on Tuesday due to a heart attack. He was 58.

“He passed away about 1.30 pm due to heart attack,” Randhir said in a statement.

Family, friends, prominent Bollywood personalities and fans bid adieu to actor-director, as he was cremated on Tuesday evening in Chembur, at around 7 pm.

Randhir Kapoor and nephew, actor Ranbir Kapoor led the funeral procession.

Family and close friends from the film industry were also seen at Rajiv Kapoor’s Chembur bungalow to pay their last respects.

Actor Neetu Kapoor arrived with son Ranbir Kapoor at the late actor’s residence. Ranbir was later joined by his actor-girlfriend Alia Bhatt. Aadar Jain, son of Rima Jain, along with his rumoured girlfriend, actor Tara Sutaria were spotted as well.
