Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor took a poignant trip down memory lane, sharing a touching black-and-white throwback photograph of her late husband and Bollywood icon Rishi Kapoor to mark their engagement anniversary. The image, filled with nostalgia and love, has struck a chord with fans across generations.
On Sunday, Neetu Kapoor turned to her Instagram Stories to post a cherished moment from the past — a young Neetu and Rishi smiling fondly, seemingly lost in their world. Dressed elegantly in contrasting black and white outfits, the couple radiated effortless charm. Along with the photograph, Neetu penned a simple yet emotional caption:
'Was engaged on this day in 1979. Time flies.'
This understated note carried the weight of a love story that transcended decades - both on-screen and off.
Neetu Singh and Rishi Kapoor’s relationship became the blueprint for Bollywood romance. The two tied the knot on January 22, 1980, after starring in a string of hits together during the 1970s and 1980s. From Amar Akbar Anthony to Rafoo Chakkar, their chemistry was electric and deeply authentic - a mirror of their off-screen bond.
Their marriage was blessed with two children: Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and actor Ranbir Kapoor, who continues to carry forward the Kapoor legacy with immense grace.

Rishi Kapoor’s remarkable filmography spanned decades, with unforgettable performances in classics like Bobby, Karz, and Chandni. Known for his romantic roles and effortless screen presence, Rishi was truly the heartbeat of Hindi cinema.
In 2020, the industry and fans alike mourned the loss of Rishi Kapoor, who passed away on April 30 after a courageous battle with leukemia. He was 67. At the time, he had been receiving treatment in New York and had resumed shooting for Sharmaji Namkeen - a film completed posthumously with actor Paresh Rawal stepping in.
Yet, even after his passing, Rishi Kapoor remains vividly alive in the memories of fans, peers, and, most importantly, his beloved wife, Neetu.
Embracing life while honouring the past, Neetu Kapoor is set to appear in a heartwarming new show titled Dining With The Kapoors. This star-studded series will offer a never-before-seen glimpse into the lives of one of Bollywood’s most celebrated families.
Joining her will be Kareena Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Randhir Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, and other members of the illustrious Kapoor clan, including Saif Ali Khan, Agastya Nanda, Navya Naveli Nanda, and more.
Neetu Kapoor’s tribute is more than a remembrance - it’s a celebration of a love that inspired millions. Her quiet strength, enduring affection, and grace in the face of loss serve as an inspiration not just to Bollywood fans but to anyone who’s loved deeply and lost.
As generations evolve, stories like Neetu and Rishi's continue to keep the golden age of Hindi cinema alive. Their love, captured in a candid black-and-white photo, stands timeless - just like the stars they are.
