Rishi Kapoor Once Saved Padmini Kolhapure From Fire Like A True Hero; Actress Remembers Their First Shot Together

A shock wave took over the nation on 30^th April when one of Bollywood’s biggest superstars breathed his last. Rishi Kapoor passed away in a Mumbai hospital after a two year long battle with cancer, and left a huge void in our lives. However, in his 50 year long career the actor gave us many hit films, spectacular performances and witty tweets to remember him by. His co-stars, on the other hand, have lots of amazing memories from the sets of their films. For instance, did you know Chintu ji saved Padmini Kolhapure’s life during the shoot of Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai?

That’s right! In a chat with Mid-Day, the actress reminisced about their surreal experience while shooting for the song Hoga Tumse Pyara Kaun on a train. She went on to reveal that her scarf caught fire during the filming but Rishi ran towards her and rescued her like a true hero! Padmini also remembered that their first shot together was for the song Poocho Na Yaar Kya Hua in which they had a dance sequence after which she was supposed to hug him. But the actress was a big fan of the superstar and she got so nervous that she started shivering.

Calling Rishi a big foodie, Padmini shared that they used to eat together on the sets. She stated, “I'd get prawns and fish curry to the sets and we would eat together. More than him, we loved his Punjabi lunch that Neetu would send. Neetu would send healthy food, but she never knew that he'd, in fact, be eating his co-stars' meals.”

He truly was one of a kind. R.I.P Rishi Kapoor, you’ll never be forgotten.
