Rishi Kapoor remembers Pran on 98th birth anniversary, says `learnt punctuality from him`

New Delhi: Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor on Monday remembered the late Pran on his 98th birth anniversary, saying he learnt the discipline of being punctual from him.

The 'Bobby' actor took to Twitter today to share an incident from his set about how his late arrival on the film sets had once angered Pran. 

"Happy Birthday Pran Uncle. Thank you for being in my many films! Still remember you got angry with me on the sets of `Zinda Dil`. That day onwards, I learnt the discipline of being punctual," he wrote alongside an image of Pran. 

Rishi and Pran worked together in nearly 20 films including 'Amar Akbar Anthony', 'Bobby', 'Karz' and 'Naseeb'. 

Pran was one of the most revered actors of the Indian cinema and gave some memorable and path-breaking performances. In his long and prolific career, he appeared in over 350 films. Pran has received many awards and honours in his career. 

He was honoured with the Padma Bhushan in 2001 for his contributions to the arts and with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the highest national award for cinema artistes, in 2013. 

He died in July 2013, at the age of 93, after suffering from a prolonged illness in Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital.
