One of the most adored couples in Tinseltown, Neetu Kapoor and late Rishi Kapoor's love story is inspirational to many. Though the duo's journey of togetherness had ended in 2020, the couple's love for each other is immortal. For the unversed, the legendary actors had tied the knot in 1980 and were blessed with two kids, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and Ranbir Kapoor. They were living a blissful life. However, sadly, Rishi had to leave for the heavenly abode in 2020, after a two-year battle with cancer, leaving his loved ones behind. Since then, there has not been a single day when his doting wife, and kids do not think of him.
April 30, 2022, marked two years of Rishi Kapoor's demise, and Neetu Kapoor had penned a heart-wrenching note remembering him. Posting a video on her IG handle from the sets of Dance Deewane Juniors, she had recalled stories about him, and this had proved her pure love for him. Alongside it, she had revealed how she had healed her heart after her beloved's demise, and penned in the caption:
"Today is two years since rishi ji left us… loosing a partner of 45 years was difficult n painful at that time the only way to heal my heart was to keep myself mentally occupied... Movie n television heldped me achieve that rishiji will always be remembered n will stay in everyone’s heart forever #dancedeewanejuniors."

A few moments back, Neetu Kapoor took to her IG handle and shared an unseen picture from her wedding day with her late husband, Rishi Kapoor. In the picture, Neetu looked gorgeous in a red coloured wedding saree paired with a golden zari dupatta. On the other hand, her husband looked royal in a cream-coloured bandhgala suit paired with a golden turban, complementing his then-bride. They were seen surrounded by their family members and the wedding moment was simply beautiful. Sharing the picture, Neetu sought for her darling hubby's blessing for her new life and penned:
"Mere liye shaadi ke baad sab badal gaya. I am starting this new journey…with your blessings Rishi ji. With you in my heart, always."
In a candid chat with Film Companion, Neetu Kapoor had recalled the toughest phase of her life when the late Rishi Kapoor had breathed his last on the hospital's bed. She had pointed out the connection between their engagement date back in 1979, with the last date when she had spoken to him. Drawing a resemblance between the two dates, Neetu had explained that on April 13, 1979, they had got engaged and on April 13, 2020, Rishi had talked to her for the last time. Neetu had further recalled her husband's last days in the hospital and had shared:
"For those two weeks, he was on the ventilator and there was no conversation and no communication. There was no interaction–well, there was, he was looking at me, and I took an iPad with the alphabet and I told him to point out what he wanted to say, but he couldn't lift his finger. It was just Ranbir and me in the hospital, and to see him go through that was so tormenting. To see a man like him… he wanted to say so much, and he couldn't express it. I couldn't see him like that."
