Fact check
With the help of relevant keywords, a simple google search led us to the same video uploaded on u-tube on February 3 of this year. The video was uploaded by Dheeraj Kumar Sanu.
Now its clear that the video was not shot last night before the death of veteran actor. It was at least more than two months old. We also found the social media profile of Dheeraj on Instagram where he posted the same picture with Rishi Kapoor in his status.

The man who sung a song in the video was actually Dheeraj not the staff of hospital. Rishi Kapoor was admitted to the hospital in Delhi for the treatment of infection caused by pollution. He had come to Delhi for shooting of the film. He posted a tweet regarding this during his stay in hospital on february 3.
Now we further checked the viral claim of last video and found his video of march 22 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed every one to honor corona warriors from the balcony by banging-thalis. He also announced to keep self imposed curfew on the same day. Like many celebrities Rishi Kapoor was also seen banging-thali from his balcony. A twitter user posted a video of that day.
Conclusion
Therefore it is clear that viral video is not his last video. This is more than two months old video when he was admitted to the hospital in Delhi
