2020 has been one of the most disappointing years, not only for us but also for Bollywood, as we saw many stars like Sushant Singh Rajput, Wajid Khan, Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan Khan and other bidding adieu and leaving for heavenly abode. Actress Kareena Kapoor, who recently completed 20 years in Bollywood, opened up on the demise of uncle and veteran actor Rishi Kapoor and said that she regrets of not working with him professionally. Talking to Filmfare, she said, "It’s been a terrible tragedy. Like me Chintu uncle was a Virgo. He too believed in saying things as they were. If he loved your performance, he’d tell you so. If he hated your performance, he’d say he didn’t like it. Saif misses him a lot more because he connected with him on another level. They believed they were similar actors. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to work with him." Saif and Rishi had worked together in films like Love Aaj Kal and Hum Tum.
