Meanwhile, actor Amitabh Bachchan penned a heartfelt note in memory of the Kapoor family matriarch.
"Jab pati ke ghar bahu ban kar jaana, toh yeh soch lena ki tum kainchi lekar jaana chahti ho ya buniya ki auzaar," ("When you go as a bride into your husbands home, you must decide whether you want to carry scissors with you or a pair of knitting needles!")
Bachchan explained: "Scissors symbolising the cutting of relations in the new home and family; knitting needles, to knit the family together."
Salman Khan didn't have too many words, but the superstar merely said that she was his mother and he would miss her.
“Krishna aunty .. my mother and me will miss u always.. #KrishnaRajKapoor,” tweeted Khan.
