Neetu Kapoor says 'Always in our hearts' as she remembers Rishi Kapoor on his death anniversary

Neetu Kapoor shares a throwback photo with Rishi Kapoor on his 6th death anniversary. Daughter Riddhima also pays tribute. Read their emotional messages.

"Always in our hearts - Neetu Kapoor"

Mumbai, April 30

It has been 6 years since celebrated Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor left for the heavenly abode. Remembering her late husband on his death anniversary on Thursday, actress Neetu Kapoor uploaded a candid throwback photo of the couple on social media.

The photo showed Rishi Ji and Neetu sitting next to one another, simply smiling at the camera. "Always in our hearts (sic)," read the text on the photo.

Rishi Ji and Neetu's daughter, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, also used social media to pay a heartfelt tribute to her late father. Posting a portrait of Rishi Ji on her official Instagram account, Riddhima shared, "Until we meet again. I'll keep celebrating you, loving you and missing you, always (sic)."

For those who do not know, Rishi and Neetu first bumped into each other back in 1974 on the sets of their movie "Zehreela Insaan". Their relationship, which commenced as colleagues, slowly transformed into love.

After being in a relationship for some time, these two finally ended up tying the knot in 1980. The couple welcomed a girl, Riddhima, in 1980, followed by a boy, Ranbir, in 1982.

During their tenure, Rishi and Neetu have been paired in several projects such as "Doosara Aadmi", "Rafoo Chakkar", "Besharam", "Kabhi Kabhie", "Zinda Dil", "Amar Akbar and Anthony", "Anjane Mein", "Dhan Daulat", "Khel Khel Mein", and "Do Dooni Chaar", to name just a few.

Unfortunately, Rishi passed away on 30th April 2020 after a two-year-long battle with leukemia. He was 76 at the time.

Rishi's last film, "Sharmaji Namkeen", was left incomplete. Later, veteran actor Paresh Rawal stepped in to finish the incomplete portions.

Talking about Neetu's upcoming projects, she will soon be seen playing a crucial role in the upcoming family entertainer, "Daadi Ki Shaadi", which will also mark the Bollywood debut of Riddhima.

It's been 6 years but it still feels so fresh. Neetu ma'am's strength is admirable, raising the kids and keeping his memory alive. Riddhima's tribute was so touching, "until we meet again" 🥺💔

Honestly, I wish they had released more of his unfinished projects. Paresh Rawal did a decent job in Sharmaji Namkeen but it wasn't the same. Rishi ji had a unique charm. But nice to see the family keeping his legacy alive.

Neetu Kapoor is the epitome of grace. She has handled everything with so much dignity. And now she's debuting Riddhima in Daadi Ki Shaadi, that's going to be so special. Rishi ji would be so proud! 🌸

Reading about how they met on the sets of Zehreela Insaan takes me back to the golden era of Bollywood. That chemistry was unmatched. Good to see his family continue his legacy through films.

One thing I appreciate is how Neetu ji hasn't let grief consume her. She's working, supporting Riddhima, and keeping his memory alive - that's the real Indian 'sanskaari' spirit. Hats off to her! 👏
