Neetu Kapoor Shares Heartfelt Tribute to Rishi Kapoor on His Birthday

Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor took a walk down memory lane today as she posted a touching throwback video of her late husband, Rishi Kapoor, in celebration of his birthday. The video, shared on her social media profile, was accompanied by a simple yet deeply emotional caption: “You will always remain in our hearts, happy birthday.”

The post stirred a wave of love and nostalgia among fans and fellow celebrities, many of whom flooded the comments with red hearts, fond memories, and messages of remembrance. Rishi Kapoor, beloved for his charm, wit, and iconic on-screen presence, passed away on April 30, 2020, after a long battle with leukemia.

Neetu and Rishi’s love story began on the sets of Kabhie Kabhie, blossoming off-screen into a lifelong bond. The couple tied the knot on January 22, 1980, and together they raised two children—Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, now a successful fashion designer, and Ranbir Kapoor, one of Bollywood’s top actors.

The Kapoor legacy continues to thrive through the next generation. Riddhima is married to industrialist Bharat Sahni, and they share a daughter, Samara Sahni. Ranbir, meanwhile, married actress Alia Bhatt in April 2022, and the couple welcomed their daughter Raha Kapoor later that year in November.

Despite personal loss and health setbacks—Neetu herself tested positive for COVID-19 while filming Jug Jugg Jeeyo in 2020—she’s continued to show remarkable resilience. Returning to work and sharing memories of Rishi with grace, she remains a pillar of strength in the Kapoor family.

Today’s tribute is a beautiful reminder: while legends may leave this world, their love and legacy endure in the hearts of those they touched.
