“I am totally in love with my husband”

Rishi Kapoor  and Neetu Kapoor’s love story from reel to real has enthralled the fans but Neetu Singh has  said that she and Rishi found true love for each other after years of togetherness. Now, she looks for Rishi everywhere.

“What is romantic love?” said Neetu Singh at Kapil Sharma’s show, “I don’t believe in all this dying-for-love, Laila-Majnu stuff. That is just hormonal attraction, which disappears soon. Real love comes later, a love that forgives everything – as a mother with a child. For Rishi and me, real love has come now after so many years of togetherness. I am totally in love with my husband today – I look for him everywhere.”
Once Rishi Kapoor said if he returns home and doesn’t see Neetu around, he gets restless and brings the house down till she emerges. Earlier, he was ‘madly in love’ with her but today after 37 years of being together, “I feel blessed to have her in my life.”

When Neetu and Rishi first met each other, they were too young to discover true love. Neetu was barely 13 and Rishi 19 then. Their affair blossomed during the shooting of ‘KabhiKabhie’. “Rishi used to take me out for wine-shine and dinners and I loved all that, and, of course, the idea of being with ‘Rishi Kapoor’,” confessed Neetu Singh. “On his part, I guess he liked being with a girl who was receptive and took all his nonsense.”

In Rishi’s biography, Khullam Khulla’, Neetu calls him a ‘grouch’, ‘loud’, ‘suspicious’, ‘stiflingly possessive’, and ‘difficult to live with’, and yet says, “I cannot, would not, live with any other. because I truly believe that I couldn’t have asked for a better man, or indeed a better life, than I’ve had with him… his good qualities far outnumber his annoying habits.”
Speaking high about his lady, Rishi said,” At my raised eyebrows, he explains, “One can get attracted to another, but I always knew where to draw the line, and that’s what matters. I could have given in at a weak moment, but I knew I have a wonderful woman at home and cannot jeopardise that relationship at any cost. I love being with my family, taking them on holidays, and have never worked on a Sunday”.
