Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor’s journey of togetherness might have ended in 2020, but their love is purely eternal. Neetu Singh and Rishi Kapoor had fought all the odds to get married in 1980. Even during their Mr and Mrs Kapoor journey, they had faced many ups and downs, but they had sailed through the storms holding each other’s hands till Rishi Kapoor had breathed his last. On Simi Garewal’s show, Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Neetu Kapoor had shared that her love story with Rishi Kapoor was more romantic than Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer film, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
On January 22, 2021, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor would have completed 41 years of their married life.

To mark this special day, let us take you back to 1980 when Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh had taken their wedding vows. We had got hold of some black-and-white pictures of Neetu from her chooda ceremony and her wedding day, and we couldn't help but drool over how beautiful she was looking like a bride! In the picture from her wedding day, we could also spot a young Karisma Kapoor and Sonali Bendre’s husband, Goldie Behl. For the chooda ceremony, Neetu could be seen surrounded by her friends, including Rekha, helping the then-bride-to-be with the ritual.
On the radio show, Suhaana Safar with Annu Kapoor hosted by Annu Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor had recalled the initial days of her meeting with Rishi Kapoor. She had stated:
“I had a horrible first meeting with Rishi Kapoor. He had a habit of bullying, so he would comment on my make-up and clothes, and I'd feel so angry. He was actually a brat who would bully everyone and I was very young at that time. I used to be furious with him.”
Some love stories are eternal, and late Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor’s is one of them!
