Throwback: When Neetu Kapoor defended Ranbir cheating on DeepikaDescribing Rishi as \u201cstrong-minded,\u201d Neetu shared that disagreements between them often turned into prolonged periods of silence because he would not easily listen to her point of view. As a result, she would resort to giving him the cold shoulder until he eventually initiated a conversation. \u201cI used to go on this cold war and the cold war could go on for a month, six months. I would not bend till the time he didn\u2019t ask me, \u2018What\u2019s your problem?\u2019 And he would do that,\u201d she recalled with a smile. Neetu added that during those phases, Rishi would reach out to their children, actor Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, to understand her mood and what was bothering her.\u201cAnd then he would say \u2018Acha bata yaar, kya hai? What\u2019s your problem? Let\u2019s sort it out.\u2019 I would say, now that you have come to me, now, you listen to me. Because otherwise, he would just not listen,\u201d she said.She also remembered how her mother-in-law used to joke about their long silent spells. \u201cSo when I would tell people that I have been married for 30 or 40 years, my mother-in-law would say, \u2018You are only married for 20 years because you haven\u2019t spoken for 10 years\u2019,\u201d she shared.Neetu further revealed that after every reconciliation, she would encourage Rishi to follow a healthier lifestyle, including dieting and exercising, and he would briefly comply before slipping back into old habits. \u201cHe would do everything because he wanted to be the good boy because he just made up after 6 months. But then again, he would fall back to his old ways,\u201d she said, adding that the older generation of the Kapoor family never really believed in fitness routines or dieting.Reflecting on their relationship, Neetu shared that she met Rishi when she was just 14 or 15 years old and essentially grew up alongside him. She admitted feeling intimidated by him because he introduced her to a world she had never experienced before.\u201cI got involved with him when I was 14-15, so I kind of grew up with him. He took me out, he showed me the world. He would take me to discotheques. He taught me how to have wine and all. I had not seen the world. Maybe, I was very intimidated by him and I would always try to make him happy,\u201d she said.Neetu also revealed how emotionally invested she was in Rishi\u2019s career. Whenever one of his films underperformed, she would pray, fast and visit religious places hoping for his success because she couldn\u2019t bear to see him upset.\u201cWhen his films didn\u2019t work, I would do all these fasts, go to temples, gurudwaras and churches. I don\u2019t how many novenas I must have done in my life so his film works. I couldn\u2019t see him upset, unhappy. That was my life and it was a very innocent life. Today, when I look back, I see that I was really innocent. I just went through life the way it came,\u201d she shared.Neetu Kapoor reveals she got into drinking after Rishi Kapoor’s death hence she had to get to work, reacts to being trolled: ‘I couldn’t sleep’<\/a>Speaking about changing relationships in modern times, Neetu observed that the institution of marriage is gradually declining due to changing social dynamics and financial independence. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to be married to have kids,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cSo, the institution of marriage is going down.\u201d She also pointed out that people being financially independent changes the nature of relationships today. During the conversation, Neetu clarified that she always encouraged her daughter Riddhima to work and dismissed the long-standing perception that Rishi Kapoor stopped her from pursuing films.\u201cI always encouraged Riddhima but she chose her life. It wasn\u2019t like my husband told her, \u2018Don\u2019t work in movies.\u2019 That\u2019s what she chose. Today, she wants to work, she is working. She wanted to devote her time to her husband, her daughter, that was her priority,\u201d she explained.Neetu also opened up about Rishi Kapoor\u2019s parenting style, revealing that he intentionally maintained a certain distance from his children because he believed a father should command respect and fear.\u201cMy husband wanted to keep that, \u2018I am the father, don\u2019t get too close to me, keep that distance\u2019. So he never got friendly with Ranbir or Ridhhima because they should have some fear,\u201d she said.Recalling how the children reacted to Rishi\u2019s presence at home, she added, \u201cThey were scared. There was that kind of a fear. He wanted that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Late actor Rishi Kapoor and actor Neetu Kapoor were one of the most loved couples of The couple…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656018,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[172197,49,48,369,75,243051,243050,243049,337,35559,24054,131571,35558,45858],"class_list":["post-656017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-bollywood-couples","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrity-marriages","tag-entertainment","tag-fitness-and-health-in-marriage","tag-marriage-dynamics","tag-modern-relationships","tag-movies","tag-neetu-kapoor","tag-ranbir-kapoor","tag-riddhima-kapoor-sahni","tag-rishi-kapoor","tag-soha-ali-khan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656017\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
