Rishi Kapoor remains one of Hindi cinema's most celebrated actors, known for his extensive body of work filled with memorable roles that touch our hearts. His passing has left a huge void in Bollywood. Veteran actress Padmini Kolhapure paid a heartfelt tribute to her late co-star and close friend Rishi Kapoor on April 30, marking his death anniversary. She chose to remember him through a nostalgic musical moment shared on social media.
Padmini Kolhapure's Musical Tribute
Taking to her social media account, Padmini Kolhapure posted a video where she is seen humming the evergreen lines of the popular song 'Puchho Na Yaar Kya Hua'. In the video, the actress appears both cheerful and nostalgic as she revisits the iconic track. As the caption, she wrote, "POV You are missing Rishi Kapoor."
Iconic Song from a Classic Film
The song 'Puchho Na Yaar Kya Hua' originally belongs to the 1981 film 'Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai'. Directed by Nasir Hussain, the film featured Rishi Kapoor and Padmini Kolhapure in lead roles, and their pairing became widely popular during that era. Its music, composed by R. D. Burman, combined with soulful vocals by Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle, is surely iconic for all the right reasons.
