What is he doing now? (In 2015)
Getting drunk and into brawls occasionally. The Times of India reported in 2015: Rajiv Kapoor, has been caught on the wrong foot. The former actor reportedly got drunk on his return flight from Malaysia to India, and created a huge ruckus in the business class, much to the discomfort to the fellow passengers and the crew, as reported by Mid-day.com. Further to the report, his assistant was called from the economy class to check on him and help him stand upright while de-boarding. Allegedly, he even hurled abuses while in the airport lobby after the flight landed, suggest sources quoted in the report.
2021: death at age 58
Actor Rajiv, Raj Kapoor’s youngest son, dies at 58
The Times of India
Actor Rajiv Kapoor, best remembered as the hero of the blockbuster Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1985), directed by his father the great Raj Kapoor, passed away following a heart attack in Mumbai on Tuesday. He was 58, reports Avijit Ghosh.
The 1980s saw a profusion of star sons launched into filmdom. Rajiv belonged to the same bunch. Unlike his elder brothers, Randhir and Rishi, he wasn’t introduced in a home production. Rajiv made his debut with Ek Jaan Hain Hum (1983) under FC Mehra’s Eagle Films. He oozed a natural flamboyance. Post-Ek Jaan Hain Hum, he acted in a clutch of duds: Ravindra Peepat’s Lava, Nasir Hussain’s Zabardast and Shomu Mukherjee’s Lover Boy. He seemed unable to carve out a distinct personality that creates a steady fan base.
