The Final. Goodbye

6 Jan,

has left a void in our hearts. From Bollywood veterans and Hollywood celebrities to political stalwarts, we lost several personalities over the span of one year. While big names like politicians Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld lost their lives after battling prolonged illnesses, others like businessman VG Siddhartha and actor Kushal Punjabi succumbed to their mental health struggles. Here’s a look at all the influential figures we bid adieu to this year, but they continue to stay in our hearts.

Post return to India, Kapoor’s health had been in focus frequently. The actor was admitted to hospital in quick succession in February. Amid speculations about his health, he had been hospitalized in New Delhi in early February, while on a visit to New Delhi.

Back then, a report said that Kapoor clarified that he was in hospital because he was down with an infection and needed medical attention.

While wife Neetu was at his side in Delhi back then, unconfirmed reports suggested that his son Ranbir Kapoor along with rumored-girlfriend, actress Ali Bhatt, had also rushed to be at his father’s side .

On returning to Mumbai back then, another media house reported that Kapoor had again been hospitalized with viral fever but was discharged soon after.

This news comes in a day after ‘Hindi Medium’ actor Irrfan Khan’s death who was admitted to the hospital with colon infection a day before his passing ..
