Rishi Kapoor was like an elder brother to me: Sanjay Dutt

Dutt said, “One thing that

Chintu

Sir taught me was to always do things with a smile on our face! It's going to take some time to sink in that Chintu Sir is not with us anymore. He has always been an elder brother to me. Can't believe he is gone! He taught me to live life to the fullest and to face life even when I was going through my low days.”

Rishi Kapoor, 67, lost the long battle he waged against

cancer

for the last two years.
Dutt added, “You have always been an inspiration to me throughout my life and career. I will miss you Chintu sir. The last I met you at home a few months back for dinner, you were still so concerned about me. You have always cared for me."

Rishi Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt co-starred in films such as the 2012 remake of Agneepath and Sahibaan.
