Mumbai: Late actor Raj Kapoor’s wife Krishna Raj Kapoor died on Monday, family members confirmed. She was 87.
Krishna Raj Kapoor’s eldest son Randhir Kapoor said “My mother passed away at about 5 am today due to cardiac arrest… old age was another factor. We are deeply saddened by her demise.”
Raj Kapoor married Krishna Malhotra in 1946 and they had five children together – actors Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor and daughters Rima Jain and Ritu Nana. Actors Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor were her grandchildren.
The last rites will be performed at Chembur crematorium, Randhir said.
