The actor revealed that his father was a devotee of Lord Shiva and singer Asha Bhosle had gifted him a pendant of the deity on the occasion of his birthday. Rishi Kapoor wrote, "When my father passed away, my mother gave me the pendant. In fact, my mother gave away all his little things. Someone got a watch, another got a pen. My father loved piggy banks and all the loose change collected from different parts of the world would go into them. There was one that he had with him all through the making of Bobby. After his death, Dimple started chasing me, which I thought was rather sweet and sentimental but I said 'no way'. In the end, Dabboo trumped both of us and said it belonged to him."
"I don't know who got papa's hip flask. He always carried one, though he never drank from it. He also had several high-end watches. Dabboo and Chimpu (my brother Rajiv) got one each. He also had two or three very rare guns. My mother had one too, bought during the making of Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hain (1960). Today each of those guns must be worth a fortune, I inherited one of them and it needs special care and cleaning. During every election, the local police take it away and keep that in their custody the law of the land says you can't keep a weapon at home during the election," he added.
