Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh had been one of the most iconic and evergreen couples in the history of the Hindi film industry. The duo had fallen in love during the shooting of their film, Kabhie Kabhi. While both of them were merely teenagers back in the day, nevertheless, they let their love win over everything else and tied the knot in 1980. The madly-in-love couple was joined in by their adorable children, Riddhima and Ranbir during their journey of togetherness. The duo held hands tightly during every course of their life, until 2020, when Rishi Kapoor’s tragic death separated the love birds more than 40 years later.

What’s a wedding after all if it does not house some of the most weirdly fond anecdotes? Something similar happened when Neetu Singh in one of her interviews revealed a lesser-known fact dating back all the way to her wedding. In an earlier interaction with social media influencer, Dolly Singh, Neetu had revealed how she had been drunk with a few sips of brandy during their pheras so as to calm her nerves. In her words:
“Jab humari shaadi horahi thi, main faint hogayi thi and my husband also fainted. We both fainted. I fainted because there were too many people. My husband was petrified of crowds, so before getting on the ghodi, he fainted. So, he was just having Brandy, I was having Brandy, that's how our wedding was. I was drunk when I was taking the pheras."

Well, Neetu Singh had been quite a nervous and scared bride when she was barely a teenager during her wedding with Rishi Kapoor.

Spilling beans on it, Neetu had once mentioned how she had ended up fainting right before one of her wedding festivities. In her words:
“I fainted at my wedding and so did my husband. My lehenga was too heavy. Plus, there were too many people. It was too much for me to handle. My husband fainted because he couldn't take the crowd. He fainted just before he was to climb on the ghodi."
