Megastar Amitabh Bachchan paid homage to Krishna Raj Kapoor, wife of legendary actor Raj Kapoor, saying she kept a "vast family of celebrated individuals" united.
Krishna Raj Kapoor passed away Monday due to cardiac arrest. She was 87.
Bachchan took to his blog to remember the departed soul.
"Krishna Raj Kapoor... The matriarch of the family... The epitome of grace and dignity... Gentle and loving to all... Caring... Faultless in etiquette and family protocol... She kept this vast family of celebrated individuals together as one bond," the actor wrote.
He quoted Krishna Raj Kapoor's "famous lines".
"When you shall go as a bride into your husbands home, you must decide whether you want to carry scissors with you or a pair of knitting needles... Scissors symbolising the cutting of relations in the new home and family; knitting needles, to knit the family together..." the actor, who also attended her cremation, wrote.
She was cremated according to Sikh and Hindu rituals
