Neetu Kapoor shares picture with late Rishi Kapoor on 47th engagement anniversary
Mumbai, April 13
Bollywood veteran star Neetu Singh, who post marriage goes by the name of Neetu Kapoor, shared a beautiful picture of herself with her late husband Rishi Kapoor on account of their 47th engagement anniversary.
In the picture shared by Neetu Kapoor, she is seen posing with her late husband, with both of them smiling ear to ear.
Neetu captioned it as, "Was engaged today 1979."
Talking about Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, the couple tied the knot on January 22, 1980, in what was considered one of the most expensive and talked-about Bollywood weddings of its time.
The grand ceremony was attended by the who's who of the Hindi film industry.
Neetu and Rishi welcomed their daughter, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni in 1980, followed by their son Ranbir Kapoor in 1982.
Recently, Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor and Neetu - Rishi Kapoor's niece has recently shared an unknown fact about Neetu Singh from her wedding day.
Talking about it on the singing reality show Indian Idol, Karisma revealed how Neetu Singh had fainted right in the middle of her wedding, seeing so many stars and so much of crowd.
She mentioned that that particular episode had scared everybody in the family.
"Ek interesting story bhi kahi jaati hai ki itne saare stars aur itni bheed ke beech Neetu aunty shaadi mein faint ho gayi thi. Sab bahut dar gaye the," revealed Karisma.
For the uninitiated, while at the peak of her career, Neetu stepped away from Hindi cinema, after marriage, in keeping with the Kapoor family's long-standing tradition where daughters and daughters-in-law were not allowed to continue acting professionally.
Rishi Kapoor passed away in April 2020, post his battle with cancer.

The Kapoor family traditions were quite something back then. Can't imagine a top actress like Neetu ji having to give up her career after marriage. Times have changed, thankfully.
That story about her fainting at the wedding is hilarious! Must have been so overwhelming. They really were the first family of Bollywood. Miss Rishi Kapoor's energy on screen.
It's a poignant reminder of love and loss. Sharing this on their engagement anniversary is a beautiful tribute. My heart goes out to her and the family.
Respectfully, while their love story is celebrated, we should also acknowledge the sacrifice Neetu Kapoor made. She had immense talent that the industry lost for years because of a family rule. Glad she's back on screen now.
47 years! Wishing her all the strength. They gave us so many wonderful films together. "Khel Khel Mein" and "Kabhi Kabhie" songs are still my favorites. 🎬
