'Jhoota Kahin Ka' is a Hindi-language comedy film released in 1979, directed by Ravindra Peepat and produced by Ravi Malhotra. The film also stars Rakesh Roshan, and Prem Chopra in principal roles. The story follows Ajay (played by Rishi Kapoor), a young man who fabricates a wealthy identity to impress a woman, Rekha (played by Neetu Singh).

The plot develops through a series of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and comedic situations as Ajay attempts to maintain his false persona. Rakesh Roshan plays Vijay, adding to the narrative complications, while Prem Chopra portrays a supporting antagonist role.

The film's music was composed by R. D. Burman, with lyrics by Gulshan Bawra. The soundtrack includes songs such as 'Jhoota Kahin Ka' and 'Dil Mein Jo Mere Sama Gayi'. 'Jhoota Kahin Ka' performed moderately at the box office and is noted for its comic narrative structure and performances, particularly by Rishi Kapoor. It is also recognized as part of the late-1970s Hindi film trend of light-hearted romantic comedies.

Neetu and Rishi Kapoor got married in 1980. In 2017, he released his autobiography 'Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored', in which he wrote the book along with Meena Iyer. Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018 and went to New York City for treatment. After successful treatment for a year, he returned to India a year later.

However, he was admitted to Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital on 29 April 2020 owing to breathing difficulties. He passed away on April 30, 2020 from recurrence of leukemia, a day after legendary actor Irrfan Khan left for his heavenly abode.

RD Burman's music, Gulshan Bawra's lyrics, and these two legends on screen. What a combination! "Dil Mein Jo Mere Sama Gayi" is still such a lovely song. Our parents' generation had some truly timeless films.

It's heartwarming to see her cherish these memories, but also a little sad. They were such a iconic jodi. It must be bittersweet for her to look back. Strength to her and the family.

As someone newer to Bollywood, it's fascinating to learn about these older films. The plot sounds like a classic comedy of errors. Might try to find it on streaming! Any idea where it's available?

Respectfully, while it's nice to remember the film, the article feels a bit long-winded for a simple Instagram story post. The focus should be more on Neetu Kapoor's personal tribute rather than a full film synopsis. Just my two cents.

Prem Chopra and Rakesh Roshan were in it too! Such a stellar cast. These light-hearted comedies from the late 70s and 80s are perfect for a lazy Sunday watch. They don't make them like this anymore.
