Neetu Kapoor on going back to work
In one of the episodes, Neetu revealed that she was not ready to return to work after Rishi died in 2020 because she didn’t want to get trolled. However, her children Ranbir and Riddhima ‘pushed’ her to take the plunge, and she claims to have been happier.
Talking to Riddhima, she said, “After Papa (Rishi) went...I was not ready. You know how the trolls are. But you (Riddhima and Ranbir) pushed me. I did a show, I did ads. I used to shake before going.” However, Neetu also revealed that she took a break to focus on her well-being. “That's why I have taken a backseat this year. If I stayed home and didn't do anything, I'd go crazy. Today, I feel much better. I wasn't good even until last year.”
In the same episode, Riddhima said, “I don't think we've healed (from Rishi’s death). We don't show it, and we are not vocal about it. But andar se (from the inside), we're still hurting.” Riddhima told her mother, Neetu, that both Ranbir and she were proud of her for working again after their father’s death.
After Neetu married Rishi and had her children--Riddhima in 1980 and Ranbir in 1982, she took a break from films after the 1983 film Jaane Jaan. Apart from playing few cameos, Neetu made a comeback in 2022 with the film JugJugg Jeeyo. She will soon be seen in Letters to Mr Khanna.
