Neetu married Rishi Kapoor in 1980, and it was a moment of celebration for the entire Hindi film industry. The duo dated for a few years before tying the knot and shared screen space in several iconic films. 

Earlier, while talking to Rediff.com, the Jugjugg Jeeyo actress opened up on a beautiful incident from her engagement days. While shooting for Yaarana's stage song with Amitabh Bachchan, the actress revealed she was crying as she was missing Rishi Kapoor. The phones in Calcutta weren't working, and Rishi couldn’t reach her. Noticing her distress, Big B called the producer and arranged for Neetu’s return to Bombay, assuring her they would manage the song without her.
