John Cena's (weird) connection with India
John Cena is known for posting cryptic images on his official Instagram account, with zero explanation in the caption. In the past, Cena has posted photos featuring Indian celebs like Virat Kohli, Shilpa Shetty, and Shah Rukh Khan.
Kapoor was born on September 4, 1952 in Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra. Over a career that spanned decades, Kapoor became one of the biggest heartthrobs of Bollywood. He was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018. After a two-year battle, Kapoor succumbed to the disease, and has left behind a legacy that would be incredibly hard to replicate.
The Sportskeeda community offers its heartfelt condolences to the Kapoor family.
