Neetu Kapoor on Rishi Kapoor's restrictions on her
"We had a great time, especially with Yashji (Chopra). We'd spend the night partying, playing antakshari and idiotic charades. So, that was one picnic. That was extremely, incredibly fun. But I had Rishi Kapoor as a boyfriend. So I never really partied. Because he was continually saying, 'yeh nahi karna, woh nahi karna, ghar aajao'. So, I never saw the crazy side of partying back then. I was committed, and I had a very strict mother and boyfriend. So I felt divided between both of them," she explained.
Neetu and Rishi's relationship
Neetu and Rishi dated for some time before getting engaged on April 13, 1979. They finally tied the knot on January 22, 1980. Neetu stopped acting after her wedding. The couple had two children, daughter Riddhima and son Ranbir Kapoor, which caused Neetu to take a break from acting.
Rishi Kapoor's death
Rishi was diagnosed with leukemia and treated for two years. He was receiving therapy in New York, with Neetu and Ranbir by his side. Alia Bhatt, Ranbir's now-wife, would also pay them frequent visits. The trio returned to India in 2019, but Rishi was transported to a Mumbai hospital in April 2020, where he passed away.
