Neetu Kapoor recently opened up about her late husband Rishi Kapoor, his bonding with kids Ranbir and Riddhima, and all things in between. She even recalled the final days of Rishi’s life when he was undergoing treatment for cancer.
While speaking with Karan Johar on his talk show ‘Koffee With Karan’, Neetu recalled the time they spent in New York, when Rishi was being treated. “So, Karan, for me, I don’t like to remember the sad part. I like to remember the good parts of our relationship and of our time in New York. So New York was really sad, but we had the best year; I had the best year of my life,” she shared.
Neetu also opened up about how Rishi would rarely be friendly and casual with his kids, but that changed in his final days. “Because you know Chintu Ji (Rishi Kapoor) is a very loving person. He had a lot of love in him. But there was something he never really showed his love. He always kept his distance and bullying people, not showing his love. Especially with me and my children, he was like a big thing. Respect and all, and with that he lost out on a lot with his children. He was never a friend to them.”
She then added, “But that year, he opened up. He showed love, went towards me also he was also so lovely. We had the best time.”
Earlier, Ranbir Kapoor, too, had opened up about his bonding with his father, Rishi. During one of the press events for Animal, the actor shared, “He was traveling everywhere, so there was not a really friendly relationship between us. We couldn’t just sit and chat, and I really have that one regret in my life. I wish I could be friends with my father. I wish I could share more with him, which is one regret I always live with. I respected him, but we were never friendly. But I’m glad I have a daughter to love. When God takes away something, he also gives something back,” he said.
Rishi Kapoor passed away in 2020 after a long battle with leukemia.
