RE FULL BLOG
"I h seen him at his home Deonar Cott, Chembur , a young energetic, bubbly , mischief in his eyes Chintu , on those rare moments when I was privileged to have been invited to an evening at Raj ji’s house ..
I would see him more often after , at RK Studios, when he trained as an actor for his film to be me, BOBBY .. a diligent enthusiastic youngster, rey to pounce onto every learning that came his way, in that famous large and legendary make up room, of Raj ji at end of first floor corridor of make up rooms ..
He h a walk that was confident and determined .. a stride and style that was similar to that of his grandfar, legendary Prithvi Raj ji .. a walk I h ticed in one of his earlier films .. that walk .. I never found it in any or ..
We worked in several films toger ..
When he spoke his lines, you believed every word of it .. re was never an alternative .. its genuineness was beyond question ..
And re has never been any or, that could lip sync a song as perfectly as he would .. never ..
His playful attitude on set was infectious .. even in most grave sequences he would discover that comedic spark and we would all just crack up .. !!
t just on set .. if you were with him at any formal event , he would find that little distractive light hearted gem to expand on and lighten situation ..
When re was a time lapse as shot got reied during a shoot , he would bring out his playing cards , or at times pull out his rar complicated Bagatelle board and invite ors to play .. a competition .. t just for fun .. a serious competition ..
During his time of diagsis and his treatment he never ever lamented his condition .. it was always .. ‘see you soon , just a routine visit to Hospital .. I’ll be back shortly ‘
Joie de vivre .. exuberant enjoyment of life , was a gene he inherited from his far .. Legend, Ultimate Showman Iconic Raj Kapoor ..
I never visited him in Hospital .. I never wanted to see distress on his smiling cherubic face ..
But I am certain .. when he went , he must have gone with a gentle smile …"
