The funeral for Krishna Raj Kapoor, the widow of the legendary Bollywood actorfilmmaker Raj Kapoor, took place on Monday. The 87-year-old died on Monday following a cardiac arrest, bringing an end to the second generation of the influential clan.
A gamut of film fraternity celebrities mourned her demise, and remembered her as the pillar of the Kapoor family, and as someone who personified grace, dignity and affection.
She was due to attend yesterday the inauguration of Raj Kapoor’s dream project — the world’s biggest pillar-less dome in Pune on a property formerly owned by the late actorfilmmaker, which Krishna Raj sold to Vishwanath Karad.
Krishna was the sister of legendary actors — the late Prem Nath and Rajendra Nath.
In the industry, Krishna commanded a lot of respect, and that was visible as a string of celebrities turned up to pay their last respects.
Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao, Kajol, Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, Alia Bhatt, Rani Mukerji, Ayan Mukerji and Anil Kapoor were among those who were present.
“If Raj Kapoor was an institution in filmmaking, Krishna ji was an institution in living life. A very sad loss to all of us,” Aamir tweeted. —
