Today marks Rishi Kapoors 71st birth anniversary. He was one convincing and effortless actor. Be it the early 70s movies or latest films, Rishi Ji never lost his charm. As we remember the legendary veteran actor, lets see some of his iconic roles that are etched in our hearts even today.

1. Raja: Bobby (1973)The Rishi Kapoor-Dimple Kapadia starrer was his first film as a lead actor. Bobby, a film way ahead of its time, was a love story of rebels who chose to stay together despite the two families opposing their relationship.Rishi Kapoor plays the heir of a rich businessman who is in love with 16-year-old Bobby (Dimple Kapadia). It was one of the biggest blockbusters of that era. Rishi Ji's charm and effortless acting stay evergreen.

2. Rauf Lala: Agneepath (2012)Who doesn't remember the menacing and cunning kingpin who had the entire city under his feet? Rishi Kapoor's portrayal of Rauf Lala in the 2012 release, Agneepath, showcased how he can effortlessly play roles that contrast with his personality. The typical surma under his eyes was a sign of his villainous aura.Agneepath is the remake of the 1990 release with the same name. While the original one was headlined by Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan played the titular role in the 2012 release.

3. Amarjeet Kapoor: Kapoor And Sons (2016)The family drama with a tinge of comedy still remains one of our favorites. Rishi Kapoor played the charming and cute grandfather to Sidharth Malhotra and Fawad Khan. He is the glue that holds the entire Kapoor family together.We love how the late veteran actor has played a wide array of roles but has continued to be evergreen and timeless. We miss you, Rishi Kapoor.
