Chandigarh, May 2

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor passed away on Thursday after a two-year-long battle with cancer. The final rites were performed the same evening, with his wife Neetu Kapoor and son Ranbir Kapoor.

To bid farewell Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, siblings Randhir Kapoor and Rima Jain were also present.

Ranbir’s girlfriend Alia Bhatt—who stood by Neetu’s side during the last rite rituals—was seen holding a phone throughout the ceremony.

Alia was face-timing with Ranbir’s sister, Riddhima in Delhi.

However, uninformed netizens brutally criticised Alia was using the phone at the funeral.

Reactions:

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
