Rishi Kapoor gave many great films in Bollywood. Even today, his fans remember him for his films. Rishi’s birth anniversary is on 4 September. Rishi was very strict in real life. But for a Bollywood actor, Rishi even changed his birthday date and used to celebrate his birthday on the same actor’s birthday. Let’s know who that actor is?
Date of birth was changed for Shakti Kapoor
Here we are talking about Shakti Kapoor. Let us tell you that Shakti Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor were very good friends. Both were of the same age. Shakti was just 1 day older than his friend Rishi. While Rishi was born on 4 September 1952, Shakti was born on 3 September 1952.
During an interview, Shakti talked about his friendship with Rishi. He told that Rishi always stood by him. In an interview to E Times, Shakti said, ‘My life with Rishi is very old. I must have done 25-30 films with him. Some popular films that I can remember are Manmohan Desai’s ‘Naseeb’, David Dhawan’s ‘Bol Radha Bol’, ‘Eena Meena Deeka’ and who can forget ‘Sargam’. It was one of the biggest blockbuster films. So we have shared a lot of life together.’
Both started celebrating their birthdays on the same day
Rishi further said, ‘There have been very few people in my life who have stood by me and Rishi was one of them. Since there was a difference of one day between our birthdays, he once asked me why he does not celebrate his birthday in a grand manner like him.
I told him that I don’t have that much money to throw a party like you and invite 100 people. Since then he started celebrating his birthday a day before mine, so that we could celebrate together. He threw a party for me many times at RK Studio. There were two cakes there. One had his name written on it and the other had my name written on it.
