Rishi Kapoor cried "like a baby," but Amitabh Bachchan didn't attend Mukri's funeral, recalls his daughter: 'Filmo ki dosti aisi hi hoti hai'

For nearly six decades, ever since he began his acting career in Hindi films in the late 1960s, Amitabh Bachchan has worked alongside numerous talented actors of various generations, forming strong on-screen bonds with several of them, one being the late actor Mukri. The two shared screen space in films such as ‘Laawaris’, ‘Sharaabi’, and ‘Coolie’, among others. Yet, when Mukri died in 2000, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan were absent from his funeral. Recalling that period in a recent interview, Mukri's daughter Naseem Mukri revealed that Rishi Kapoor showed up at 7 am and was "crying like a baby" on hearing the news of Mukri's death.
