Former actor and the younger brother of Rishi and Randhir Kapoor, Rajiv Kapor passed away couple days ago due to heart related disease. People close to him and cinema fanatics are deeply saddened by the news. Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who shared an intimate bond with his uncle is messed up after the incident.

Rajiv used to confide many things in Ranbir and Ranbir was more attached to his uncle than his father. A source close to the family said, "They were really close. In fact Ranbir was closer to his uncle (Rajiv) than his father at one point of time. It was only when Chintuji (Ranbir’s father Rishi Kapoor) fell ill that Ranbir became close to his father. With Chimpu Uncle (Rajiv Kapoor) Ranbir always opened up his heart, spoke his mind. He will miss Chimpu Uncle the most."

This is the second blow in a short period of time after Ranbir's father Rishi Kapoor also passed last year.
