He may be called many things (foodie, blunt and garrulous), but there is one lot of people, who when they think of Rishi Kapoor, think: Mumbai's fisherfolk!
And they are the ones who have seen the 1973 blockbuster Bobby, in which Kapoor plays Raj Nath, the son of a rich father who falls madly in love with the daughter of a Christian fisherman called Jack Braganza, and they all go ghe ghe re saiba into the sunset.
No surprises then that yesterday when the good folk at the RPG Art Foundation were unveiling their latest instalment of public art, an 11 feet-tall sculpture titled Fishermen, in partnership with the MCGM, they invited the actor to do the honours.
The 1500-kg work of art made with fibre glass and iron work by sculptor Debanjan Roy, is meant as a tribute to one of Mumbai's original inhabitants, the Koli community, and the fact that it was unveiled on Narali Purnima, an auspicious day in the lives of the Koli community (they will bravely sail back to the sea today) makes it all the more auspicious. Almost makes us want to go 'ghe ghe re' towards safe journeys and rich hauls.
