    Rishi Kapoor's career is marked by a rare longevity and versatility. He won the National Film Award as a child artist, then went on to win the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his debut adult role in Bobby. Over the decades, he accumulated multiple awards, including the Filmfare Critics Award and the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award. His ability to reinvent himself, from romantic lead to character actor to villain, set him apart. His final film, Sharmaji Namkeen, released posthumously, stands as a testament to his enduring appeal.
