My heartfelt condolence to the family. — Kamal Haasan (@ikamalhaasan) April 30, 2020 × Been trying to write something n I can’t put my mind n hands in sync. More like the heart in between is just not able to comprehend this. That laugh, that sense of humour, the honesty and even the bully he was , will be missed.

Whenever you met him you couldn’t help but be struck by his irrepressible youthfulness, his energy, his sense of humour. What a loss.

Papa and Chintu uncle ❤️❤️ A post shared by Kareena Kapoor Khan (@kareenakapoorkhan) on Apr 30, 2020 at 2:02am PDT × View this post on Instagram I was 7 years old and overheard that my parents were invited to see a preview of “Duniya meri Jeb mein”...it starred my favourite Rishi kapoor...it was school night and my very particular mother refused to let me come with her....I threw such a tantrum because i couldn’t bear the fact that I was being disallowed from seeing a Chintu kapoor film...the parents finally succumbed...i went ....with stars in my eyes...like i had every time I saw him on celluloid...he was my HERO! The very handsome,the exceptionally charming,the eternally Romantic RISHI KAPOOR...my childhood was dedicated to watching him sing his songs with abandon, wearing his printed sweaters and dancing in my bedroom.....doing the dafliwalle routine with a dinner plate in front of my school friends...and finally nearly fainting when I met him for the first time in Cochin on the sets of my fathers film DUNIYA...I looked at him like he was a monument that I wanted to keep marvelling at....when i directed him in SOTY i shed a tear silently after he gave his first shot ... a major childhood dream was actualised ....today i feel like an irreplaceable void has crept into my existence...a piece of my growing years has been snatched away....i am honoured to love him...to know him...to have a drink and reminisce with him....I still will .. how can the romance of Indian Cinema ever leave us? Never. Dard -e dil....but this legendary legacy will live on! I LOVE YOU RISHI KAPOOR!❤️❤️❤️ A post shared by Karan Johar (@karanjohar) on Apr 29, 2020 at 11:14pm PDT × View this post on Instagram Rest in peace Chintu uncle.. All my love to you.

He had even taken a medical break in September last year and shifted base to US to undergo treatment. Rishi Kapoor's last tweet was an 'appeal' and it makes us teary-eyed

'Terrible week for Indian cinema': Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Chopra, Rajinikanth and others pay tribute to Rishi Kapoor

<p>If one makes a list of the most popular couples of Bollywood, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor's name would feature right at the top.<br />
<br />
The evergreen couple not just captured the imagination of millions of fans with their hit films but their offscreen love story as well.<br />
<br />
Married for over three decades, Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor's love story is a typical Bollywood film in itself.</p>

<p>The two met while working on a film called shooting of 1974 movie 'Zehreela Insaan'. It wasn't love at first sight, the two have admitted in later years. In an interview, Rishi Kapoor had recalled, “I remember I had an argument with my girlfriend at the time and I was very heartbroken. Trying to win her back, I had taken Neetu’s help in writing telegrams to my girlfriend while the two of us were shooting for ‘Zehreela Insaan'."<br />
<br />
“As time passed, I began to realise that Neetu is the one for me as I began to miss her when I had gone to Europe for a shoot. Ironically, I sent her a telegram from Europe to Kashmir saying that I was thinking of her,” he had added.</p>

<p>Neetu, on the other hand, found him a bully and hated him initially. "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," Neetu said.<br />
<br />
Love did happen eventually and the two starred in some popular films like 'Kabhi Kabhi', 'Khel Khel Mein' and 'Amar Akbar Anthony'.</p>

<p>Neetu also remembers that her over protective mother would send her cousin with her when she met Rishi Kapoor on dates. "I don't remember the exact moment. But I had signed a lot of movies. I was starting to gain confidence. My mother was very protective of me and used to send my cousin Lovely on my dinner dates with Rishi," said Neetu.</p>

<p>The actress quit acting after she got married to Rishi Kapoor in January 1980 and the couple had their first child Ridhima in September that year. Two years later they had their son Ranbir. Neetu states that she wanted to leave acting as she had to work in films since her childhood and wanted a break from it all and concentrate on her kids. She eventually made her comeback in 'Do Dooni Chaar' in 2010 opposite her husband.</p>

If one makes a list of the most popular couples of Bollywood, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor's name would feature right at the top. The evergreen couple not just captured the imagination of millions of fans with their hit films but their offscreen love story as well. Married for over three decades, Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor's love story is a typical Bollywood film in itself. The two met while working on a film called shooting of 1974 movie 'Zehreela Insaan'. It wasn't love at first sight, the two have admitted in later years. In an interview, Rishi Kapoor had recalled, “I remember I had an argument with my girlfriend at the time and I was very heartbroken. Trying to win her back, I had taken Neetu’s help in writing telegrams to my girlfriend while the two of us were shooting for ‘Zehreela Insaan'." “As time passed, I began to realise that Neetu is the one for me as I began to miss her when I had gone to Europe for a shoot. Ironically, I sent her a telegram from Europe to Kashmir saying that I was thinking of her,” he had added. View this post on Instagram Lifelong relationship Friendship .. A post shared by neetu Kapoor. Fightingfyt (@neetu54) on Feb 7, 2020 at 11:37am PST × Neetu, on the other hand, found him a bully and hated him initially. "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," Neetu said. Love did happen eventually and the two starred in some popular films like 'Kabhi Kabhi', 'Khel Khel Mein' and 'Amar Akbar Anthony'. Neetu also remembers that her over protective mother would send her cousin with her when she met Rishi Kapoor on dates. "I don't remember the exact moment. But I had signed a lot of movies. I was starting to gain confidence. My mother was very protective of me and used to send my cousin Lovely on my dinner dates with Rishi," said Neetu. The actress quit acting after she got married to Rishi Kapoor in January 1980 and the couple had their first child Ridhima in September that year. Two years later they had their son Ranbir. Neetu states that she wanted to leave acting as she had to work in films since her childhood and wanted a break from it all and concentrate on her kids. She eventually made her comeback in 'Do Dooni Chaar' in 2010 opposite her husband.
