Recently, we stumbled upon a 2019 interview of Neetu Kapoor with Annu Kapoor for his radio show. During the interview, Neetu Kapoor revealed that at first, she didn't like Rishi Kapoor. However, it was fellow actress, Dimple Kapadia's wedding to Rajesh Kapoor, which impacted her relationship with Rishi Kapoor. The actress shared that all the films came her way as Dimple was married and no other actress looked good with Rishi. She said:
"After Bobby became a superhit, Dimple (Kapadia) got married (to Rajesh Khanna) and Rishi was left with no other heroine because everyone used to look older than him. I was the only young actress around and by default, after Rickshawala (Neetu's debut film), all his movies started coming to me."
Talking about her initial feelings for Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor said that he had a habit of bullying. Remembering the same, Neetu said that he would comment on her makeup and clothes. She shared:
"I had a horrible first meeting with Rishi Kapoor. He had a habit of bullying, so he would comment on my make-up and clothes, and I'd feel so angry. He was actually a brat who would bully everyone and I was very young at that time. I used to be furious with him."
