Neetu Kapoor expresses gratitude towards the Ambani family for being 'guardian angels' during husband Rishi Kapoor's illness

Bollywood's favourite chocolate boy and charming romantic hero Rishi Kapoor passed away at the age of 67. The actor who was admitted to Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital around 3 weeks ago, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018. He breathed his last on April 30 at 8.45 am. Now, as the family recalls past memories, Neetu Kapoor, on Instagram, expressed gratitude towards the Ambani clan for their endless support during their testing times. Calling Mukesh-Nita, Akash-Shloka, Anant and Isha their 'guardian angels', Neetu thanked them for making the journey through illness comfortable for Rishi.

"For us, as a family, the last two years have been a long journey There were good days, there were a couple of bad days too.. needless to say it was full of high emotion. But it’s a journey we would not have been been able to complete without the immeasurable love and support of the Ambani family. As we’ve gathered our thoughts over the past few days we’ve also tried to find the words to express the gratitude we feel towards the family for the countless ways in which they have seen us safely through this time. Over the last seven months every member of the family has gone above and beyond in every way possible to care for our beloved Rishi and ensure he experienced as little discomfort as possible. From ensuring he was medically attended to, to making frequent, personal visits to the hospital to shower him with love and attention, to even holding our hand and comforting us when WE were scared. To Mukesh Bhai , Nita Bhabhi, Akash, Shloka, Anant and Isha - you have been our guardian angels on this long and trying experience - what we feel for you can not be measured. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your selfless, unending support and attention. We feel truly blessed to count you among our nearest and dearest. Sincerely and with utmost gratitude, Neetu, Riddhima, Ranbir and the entire Kapoor Family," Neetu wrote on Instagram with a picture with Mukesh-Nita and Rishi.
