Late Rishi Kapoor's Family To Take Legal Action Against Hospital Staffer Who Filmed Actor's Last Moments In ICU?

An utterly shocking video of the Late Rishi Kapoor has been doing the rounds of social media for the last two days. In the video, a frail Kapoor can be seen lying in his ICU bed, trying to catch a breath frantically.

The video surely violates the privacy of the late actor. Bollywood Hungama has quoted a source close to the Kapoor family as saying, they are looking at taking legal action against the offender. “Right now the family is in a different frame of mind. But once there is some respite from the tragedy on hand, they will certainly take action against the ward boy.” 

The source also wondered whether it could be someone simply strolling in casually, or maybe another patient’s visitor who saw a golden opportunity of instant fame? Because, according to him, ward boys are trained to care for the sick not harass them.

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta told Bollywood Hungama, this is what the era of social-media exposure has done to all. He went on to state, it has killed everyone’s conscience and turned them into vultures. He went on to assert, what this fellow has done was disgusting and that he should be prosecuted.

Producer Pahlaj Nihalani too was in utter shock as he exclaimed, if this could happen to someone like Rishi Kapoor, what indignities must the less privileged have to suffer in their death beds?

Singer Baabul Supriyo too pitched in with the same emotions saying, he didn’t know if arresting him (the wrongdoer) was a possibility. He went on to elucidate, mobile phones had contaminated the term privacy for life and that not just him, all the other ward boys seen in the video, who didn’t stop him from committing that immoral act, should be punished.

The singer further stated that the hospitals should actually have a zero-tolerance policy for such acts and the ward boys may very well be sacked for good. Supriyo stressed on action against him saying, he should be suspended for a month without salary and then transferred to the office of the hospital and that he doesn’t deserve to be in the ICU or Medical Ward.
