Prem Chopra remembers his actor-friend Rishi

I was no doubt a close relative but we were more of friends. There's no second opinion about the fact that he was a great actor. His transition from romantic roles to central character roles was amazing and showed his versatility. He was an actor who was in demand in those days--every producer wanted him in every film. Unfortunately, he fell victim to cancer otherwise he was a jolly good fellow, a very hard-working and honest actor. His work was above everything else.
