Remembering Raj Kapoor on his 31st death anniversary on Sunday, 2 June, his son and actor Rishi Kapoor took to Twitter to share two photographs of his late father.

Rishi, who is currently undergoing treatment in the US, tweeted one image from the 1970 film Mera Naam Joker and a black and white image of Raj Kapoor holding him.

The 102 Not Out (2018) actor captioned the image with a line from the song  'Jeena Yahan Marna Yahaan' from Mera Naam Joker (1970). 

He wrote, "Par hum tumhare rahengay sada... 14 December 1924, Peshawar to 2 June 1988, New Delhi."

Sinha said Raj Kapoor was persistent and passionate about his craft. "He was a pioneer in bringing attention to Indian films globally. I consider myself blessed to have worked with my most favourite actor, in our home production, Khaan Dost (1976)," he added.
