Mumbai, April 13 (NationPress) The beloved Bollywood icon Neetu Singh, now known as Neetu Kapoor after her marriage, commemorated the special occasion of her 47th engagement anniversary by sharing an endearing photograph with her late husband, Rishi Kapoor.
In the heartwarming image, Neetu and Rishi are seen beaming with joy, encapsulating the essence of their love.
Neetu's heartfelt caption read, “Engaged on this very day in 1979.”
Reflecting on their journey, Neetu and Rishi exchanged vows on January 22, 1980, in a lavish ceremony that was one of the most extravagant and widely discussed weddings in Bollywood history.
The event attracted numerous luminaries from the Hindi film industry.
The couple welcomed their daughter, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, in 1980, followed by their son, Ranbir Kapoor, in 1982.
Recently, Karisma Kapoor, a Bollywood star and niece of Neetu and Rishi, shared a lesser-known incident from Neetu's wedding day.
During her appearance on the singing competition show Indian Idol, Karisma disclosed that Neetu Singh fainted amid the crowd of celebrities at her wedding, causing alarm among family members.
“There’s an interesting story that amidst the throngs of stars, Neetu aunty fainted at her own wedding. It frightened everyone,” Karisma shared.
For those not aware, Neetu stepped away from acting at the peak of her career after marriage, adhering to the Kapoor family tradition that discouraged daughters and daughters-in-law from pursuing a professional acting career.
Rishi Kapoor sadly passed away in April 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer.
