"51 Years Of Khel Khel Mein - Neetu Kapoor"

Mumbai, May 16

Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor seems to have taken a trip down memory lane as she marked 51 years of her iconic film 'Khel Khel Mein'.

Sharing a vintage still from the film on her social media account, the actress posted a romantic poster of the movie featuring herself alongside late actor Rishi Kapoor.

In the picture, a young Neetu is seen looking at Rishi with love, while gently placing a finger on his lips.

Sharing the picture, Neetu wrote, "51 Years Of Khel Khel Mein" and added, "Released on 16th May 1975."

Talking about the movie, directed by Ravi Tandon, 'Khel Khel Mein' went on to become one of the most loved films of its time.

The story revolving youthful college drama soon turned into a gripping thriller, revolving around a harmless prank that takes a dangerous turn.

The film also boasted a chartbuster soundtrack composed by R.D. Burman, with songs like 'Khullam Khulla Pyar Karenge', 'Ek Main Aur Ek Tu', 'Humne Tumko Dekha', and 'Aaye Lo Pyar Ke Din" becoming timeless classics.

Talking about 'Khel Khel Mein' was also one of the movies that further strengthened Neetu and Rishi Kapoor's off screen bond, making them eventually fall in love.

The two reportedly fell in love while working together during the 1970s and eventually tied the knot on January 22, 1980.

The couple went on to become parents to daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and son Ranbir Kapoor.

After marriage, Neetu Kapoor took a sabbatical from work to focus on family life.

Unfortunately, Rishi Kapoor passed away on April 30, 2020, after a battle with leukemia.

In recent years, Neetu has gradually returned to work. She was recently seen in the movie 'Daadi Ki Shaadi' as the lead. It also starred her daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, marking her Bollywood debut.

Neetu ji's post is so heartwarming. Remember watching this film with my family - it was a perfect mix of youthfulness and suspense. Rishi Kapoor sir left too soon, but his legacy lives on through movies like these. 🙏

It's lovely to see Neetu Kapoor celebrating this milestone. The way she and Rishi fell in love on set is such a beautiful story - true Bollywood romance! I just wish she hadn't taken such a long break from acting, she's so talented.

'Khel Khel Mein' is a masterpiece! The prank-gone-wrong plot was ahead of its time. And Neetu ji's simplicity in the photo is so endearing. Makes me nostalgic for the golden era of Hindi cinema when songs were meaningful and stories were original. 🌟

Nice to see the old Bollywood magic being remembered. Those vintage posters have so much charm compared to today's heavily edited photos. Neetu and Rishi were definitely one of the most iconic on-screen and off-screen couples!

Honestly, I've always felt that Neetu Kapoor sacrificed too much of her career after marriage. She was such a lively actress in films like 'Khel Khel Mein'. But I'm glad she's now making a comeback - 'Daadi Ki Shaadi' sounds promising! More power to her! 💪
