Rishi Kapoor's hidden bold kiss with THIS actress made Neetu Kapoor furious, she felt threatened, actress was.., film was…
In the glitzy and glamorous lives of celebrities, we often hear the picture-perfect stories of Bollywood couples that most people idealise. However, the real story is a lot more than what meets the eye. Just like every ordinary relationship, even a celebrity couple has fights, hardships, struggles, and compromises. Sometimes, even more than a usual couple, because they are in a world of showbiz, where sometimes on-screen romance and constant public gaze can hamper their relationship. One such similar story is of a Bollywood's beloved couple, who had a moment of turbulence because of their professional pairing.
The couple that we are talking about is none other than Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. Before tying the knot, Rishi and Neetu were friends for a long time. And soon after their wedding, Neetu decided to step away from the world of limelight to place more emphasis on her family life. But Rishi Kapoor, who was a pioneer actor during that time, was often seen in lead roles opposite many famous heroines. One on-screen pairing that got immense love was Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia. Neetu always felt uneasy about their on-screen pairing, and as per reports, there were rumors of an off-screen relationship between the two. The tension heightened when Rishi and Dimple were cast together in the film Saagar, a project that particularly troubled Neetu. When Neetu Kapoor felt threatened by Dimple Kapadia
In Rishi Kapoor's autobiography, 'Khullam Khula,' he revealed that at the film's premiere, Neetu was taken aback when she saw a kissing scene between him and Dimple, one he had filmed without informing her. 'When she saw the scene for the first time, she got angry. She told me that Dimple was getting a bit too close.' Years after their marriage, Neetu said to Rishi Kapoor, 'The only time I ever felt threatened in our relationship was when you worked with Dimple in Saagar.'

But Neetu's fear didn't stop there. Later, Rishi and Dimple shot more romantic scenes. This resurfaced Neetu's irritation. In his book, Rishi defended the situation, writing, 'She didn't need to be worried. Dimple was a friend. Even though during Bobby, she may have been a little more than that, ten years had passed. She was now out of her marriage and living with her two children, and I, too, was settled with my two children. We were only focused on work.'
Before Saagar, Rishi Kapoor was already established as a romantic with the blockbuster Bobby, a film that turned him into the heartthrob of a generation. Girls were so smitten that they would write him love letters. His journey, however, began even earlier, as a child artist in Mera Naam Joker, for which he won the National Award for Best Child Artist.
This tale of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor shows that behind that picture-perfect relationship is jealousy, rumours, and the fine line between reel-life romance and real-life relationships, proving that love in showbiz often comes with its own set of challenges.
