Rishi Kapoor Said Affair With Juhi Chawla After Marrying Neetu Kapoor Was 'Publicity Gimmick': 'I Was Brain Washed'
Rishi Kapoor also denied having an affair with Amrita Singh as she was not his 'type'. Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla starred in films like Bol Radha Bol and Saajan Ka Ghar. The audience loved their pairing and soon, the two were even subjected to link-up rumours. It was said that Rishi Kapoor was dating Juhi Chawla despite being married to Neetu Kapoor. However, in an interview with Movie Magazine in 1997, Rishi clarified that the rumours were only a publicity stunt. When asked about the speculation surrounding Juhi Chawla, Rishi Kapoor told the publication, 'Juhi's was a publicity gimmick. I was brain-washed into going along with it because I was told that I had this great romantic image on screen, so I should have a romantic link-up with Juhi." Juhi Chawla was not the only actress that Rishi Kapoor was linked to during that time. His name was also linked with Amrita Singh. However, Rishi denied these allegations and said, 'Juhi and Amrita Singh? Bull. Amrita was not my type." In the same interview, Rishi was asked about the rumours swirling about him and several starlets. Rishi said, 'I'm the hero who introduced the maximum number of new girls. If I didn't proposition them, why would I chase bloody tarts, yaar? Ask Kajal, Kiron, or Padmini Kolhapure. I treated them like kids, yaar. Ask Neetu! Ya, I teased her a lot, but did I ever proposition her, did I ever say I'll get you thrown out of a film if you don't go to bed with me? We didn't have a sexual relationship going. If I didn't pounce on her all those years when she was new and we were doing God knows how many films together, and I knew she had a soft corner for me, why would I try stunts with those horrible names you've taken?" Neetu Singh, who had joined Rishi in the interview, opined that young actresses were using Rishi Kapoor's name for publicity. First Published:
