No amount of words or time can ever heal the pain you feel on losing your loved ones, especially when it's your 'better-half'. It breaks you from within and no time or words can ever fill the void left by them. You only learn to start living with it. Everything can change, but it is the love we hold for our dear ones, who left for the heavenly abode that never changes. However, their absence always hurt us and living without them becomes a lot difficult. And Bollywood veteran actress, Neetu Kapoor is going through the same phase after late legendary actor, Rishi Kapoor's demise.
