Ever since, Rishi Kapoor's death, Neetu Kapoor has gathered the broken pieces of her heart and had begun the second innings of life. Keeping a brave face, Neetu had bounced back to acting. In an interview with Film Companion, Ranbir Kapoor had revealed that he doesn't know whether Neetu Kapoor has healed post Rishi Kapoor's death. Revealing that her work might help her heal, the actor had stated:
"I don't know what my mother went through. My mother was a rock to my father (throughout) this hard time. She was there through everything. I mean the kind of selflessness that I've seen my mother go through is something which I've never seen anybody (go through) anywhere else, and I don't know if she's healed, you know. I don't know if she has or she has not. Maybe she needs therapy, maybe she needs to speak it out - maybe through her work, maybe through interacting with people that have come out. But I'm really, really happy that she's doing this."
You will always be immortal in our hearts, Rishi ji!
