Rishi Kapoor was one of the most loved celebrities in Bollywood; today, he marks his 1st death anniversary. Let's remember the legendary actor and why he will always be our favourite.

Rishi Kapoor was the heartthrob in his reign, but he always used to think that his father never launched him the way he should have. In one of his interview, he said, "My father never made a film to launch me. Bobby was Dimple's film, not mine."

Rishi is known for his loving and caring behaviour as well as his fits of anger issues. When one of the star sons got National Award which he didn't deserve, Rishi vented his anger saying the star's mother has made some calls to make it happen. He always thought he didn't get his dues.

Rishi Kapoor could not stay without Neetu Kapoor. Once Neetu said, "He can't do without me for even a minute. When I go for my weekly movies with friends he calls me constantly. That's why I don't act in movies any longer. He never stopped me. But even if I were away shooting he wouldn't be able to take it. He can't be in the house without me. Since Rishi and I grew up together and sort of merged into marriage I don't mind his dependence on me."

She even once revealed that it's impossible to imitate Rishi Kapoor. "It's impossible to imitate my husband. Johnny Lever once told Rishi that he's the only actor he can't ape because he is such a natural. I have done 11 films with him. I should know."
