Rishi Kapoor passed away on April 30, two years ago. The actor was battling leukemia. Ahead of his second death anniversary, Neetu Kapoor remembered her late husband and was seen in emotional state. In a forthcoming episode of Dance Deewane Juniors, the show’s judge, Neetu, will be seen in tears as she remembered her late husband.
A contestant’s grandmother shared her family’s bond with Rishi Kapoor in a clip from an upcoming episode of Dance Deewane Juniors. “My husband met Rishi ji in 1974 and he was always talking about him,” she says. Rishi ji has always been a staunch supporter of my husband, and I’d like to dedicate a few lines to him.” As she performed on popular song ‘Lambi Judaai’, Neetu became overwhelmed and choked up.
Soon after, Neetu returned to her seat and described how so many people have told her stories about Rishi that she has always felt connected to him. “Rishi ji is not here,” she said, “but I meet someone every day who reminds me of him. Everyone has a story to tell. He is still tied to me in some way, someplace.”
Neetu Kapoor returns to television as a judge on the children’s dance reality shows Dance Deewane Juniors. In the upcoming episode, there will be a tribute to Rishi Kapoor.
Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor got married in 1980s, and they have two children: Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and Ranbir Kapoor. Rishi was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018 and had treatment in New York. He passed away in April 2020, at the age of 67.
On the work front, Neetu Kapoor will also appear on screen for the first time in nearly a decade. In Jug Jugg Jeeyo, she co-stars with Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, and Anil Kapoor. Neetu was last seen in the 2013 film Besharam, with Rishi and Ranbir.
