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.

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. 🎬
