Veteran actors Neetu and Rishi Kapoor might give couple goals to many, but their first meeting years ago was a “horrible” one.
###
“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,” said Neetu.
###
The actress also spoke of how the two, who starred in many hits including ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’, ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and ‘Kabhi Kabhie’, became a hit on-screen couple.
###
“After ‘Bobby’ became a superhit, Dimple got married and Rishi was left with no other heroine because everyone used to look older than him. I was the only young actress around and by default, after ‘Rickshawala’, all his movies started coming to me,” she shared.
###
Neetu shared these nostalgic stories while chatting with actor Annu Kapoor on his radio show, ‘Suhaana Safar with Annu Kapoor’.
###
When Annu asked about the moment she decided to spend her life with Rishi, she said: “I don’t remember the exact moment. But I had signed a lot of movies. I was starting to gain confidence. My mother was very protective of me and used to send my cousin Lovely on my dinner dates with Rishi.
###
“I was very young, and I had never really been on a date before. This went on for three years, after which I signed ‘Naseeb’, ‘Shaan’ and another four or five big-budget movies. Then Rishi ji asked, ‘You are signing so many movies, don’t you want to get married?’ He was thinking about it, I had no idea.
###
“He had never said that he wants to get married. We were just dating. So I said, ‘There has to be a boy to get married to. Rishi ji said, ‘So who am I?’”
###
When she told her mother about her marriage plans, the latter was happy about it.
###
“I returned the signing amounts of all the movies I had signed, and then gave notice to everyone asking them to finish all pending movies. I had worked so hard in that one year [to complete all projects before marriage], you can’t even imagine. And then my husband told me to finish everything, so we could eventually start a family. It wasn’t that women couldn’t work [after marriage] but I was tired working for 15 years continuously. I wanted a simple life,” said the actress, who turned a year older on Monday.
