He further said that because of the pandemic situation, he could not pay his last respects and feels miserable about it.
Talking about working with Rishi Kapoor, Sippy said that one did not need to direct him as he was a consummate actor. He said that once the scene is narrated he understood them well and had to just get ready and perform. Sippy said that he never needed to tell Rishi about what to do and what not to do.
