‘Ranbir, Riddhima were scared of him’: Neetu says fights with Rishi Kapoor went on for 6 months | Bollywood News

Late actor Rishi Kapoor got married to the love of his life, actor Neetu Kapoor, in 1980 when he was 28 and she was 22. Both were extremely successful in their careers at the time but after tying the knot, Neetu stepped away from the movies, and started focusing on her personal life. They were married for 40 years until Rishi’s passing in 2020, and in the four decades that they were together, they went through many ups and downs. In a recent chat with Soha Ali Khan, Neetu shared that she never had any disagreements with any of her friends but the only person she would fight with was her husband. Neetu Kapoor would freeze out Rishi Kapoor for 6 months “I used to only fight with my husband. My husband and I used to fight for months,” she said. Neetu described Rishi as “strong-minded” and said that whenever they were in a fight, she couldn’t put across her thoughts as he wouldn’t listen to her, so she would take a stand, and freeze …

Riddhima Kapoor on being the oldest debutant of her family at 45: ‘My father is always blessing me’ | Bollywood News

Alia Bhatt was at the peak of her career when she tied the knot with Ranbir Kapoor in April 2022 and announced her pregnancy in June 2022. She had just delivered two of the biggest hits of her career — SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi. It was not unusual of female actors to quit their careers at the peak after getting married (sample Madhuri Dixit in 1999). But Alia soldiered on casually, even turning producer with Darlings just a couple of months later. She continues to command the same range of roles, say in creative decisions, and (even better) pay, having delivered more hits in Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva (2022) and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), along with her Hollywood debut Heart of Stone (2023) on Netflix. She’s all set to star in two tentpoles — YRF Spy Universe’s Alpha and Bhansali’s Love & War opposite Ranbir. Thus, the proverbial Kapoor bahu has come a long way since the days when Ranbir’s mother Neetu Kapoor quit films after …
