Comedian-actor Vir Das, who worked with late actor Rishi Kapoor in a brief role in Namaste London in 2007, has many fond memories of his meeting with him years after the shoot. While appearing on Sakshi Shivdasani and Naina Bhan's Moment of Silence podcast recently, he recalled the awkward moment when he heard the veteran actor fighting with his wife, actor Neetu Kapoor, in a flight. Vir also revealed that Rishi got up from his business class seat and came to sit with him, when Neetu didn't allow him to have the dessert because of his health issues. During the conversation, he said, 'Cool guy. Rishi Kapoor is like, 'Beta, tera naam kya hai?' I said, 'Sir, Vir Das.' He said, 'Shake my hand, son.' When you shake Rishi Kapoor's hand, you become Tina Munim from Karz. You know what I mean? All your masculine energy just drains, and you are his heroine in that moment. So, I'm just shaking his hand and I'm like, 'It's the dude from Karz, right? Shaking my hand, and he's like, 'Beta, tu bohot accha actor hai. Shake my hand and promise me you'll keep acting.'' Revisiting his meeting with Rishi Kapoor five years later, the comedian shared, 'Not lying, it's a true story. Within 3 seconds of him doing that, he left. Somebody put a chhatri over my head in the unit. So, like that's what I needed um, to act- Rishi Kapoor's handshake. He's a cool guy.' ALSO READ | Riddhima Kapoor broke down during debut film shoot with Neetu Kapoor; says last time she cried publicly was when Rishi Kapoor died He said, 'I'm in the back of a flight, and like in the front of the flight, I hear some chikad-chikad happening between a couple in business class, 'You can't eat the cake.' 'I want to eat the cake.' 'You're not allowed to eat the cake. The doctor said no cake.' 'I want the bloody cake. What the f**k?' Then, Rishi Kapoor stands up.' 'He's like, 'Arre, Vir.' He comes and sits down next to me, and he tells me this story. He's like you know… and he gave me this list of guys who started with him. Then at some point, he's like, 'You're going to eat your cake?' Then Rishi Kapoor ate my cake, but yeah, you can eat your cake if you're Rishi Kapoor,' Vir added.

Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor had a fight mid air, Rishi left his business class seat in anger to sit with.., they fought because...
In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, we often hear the picture-perfect stories of couples. However, every couple, whether it's a celebrity or an ordinary person, has its share of ups and downs. The only difference is that while an ordinary couple's fight story would end with the duration of their argument, a celebrity couple's fight takes over the headlines. One such similar tale is of a legendary B-town couple that got into a fiery frenzy 30,000 feet above the ground. Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor had a fight mid-air The duo started fighting over a piece of cake Rishi Kapoor left his seat and sat with Vir Das Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor: The most cherished B-town Couple The couple that we are talking about is none other than Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, parents of celebrated actor Ranbir Kapoor. The late Rishi Kapoor was famously known for his hot-headed temper and passion. But his love story with Neetu Kapoor, his wife one of Bollywood's most cherished relationships. But like every couple, they also had arguments. And one such spat took place mid-air. The incident involved the duo getting into a heated argument over a piece of cake. What Led to the Couple's Fight Mid-Air? Recently, in a podcast of Sakshi Shivdasani and Naina Bhan, Moment of Silence, Vir Das came as the guest. Speaking about working with Rishi Kapoor in Namastey London, he shared a heated yet funny anecdote with Rishi. Vir Das revealed that once while travelling, he was seated at the back of the aircraft, and he overheard a couple fighting over a piece of cake, which was both funny and heated. Later, he discovered that the couple was none other than Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. The couple was in a back-and-forth over whether or not Rishi should eat cake. Neetu, always mindful of Rishi's health, firmly reminded him that the doctor had forbidden it. But Rishi was insistent. 'You can't eat cake,' she said. 'I want to eat cake,' he snapped back. When Rishi Kapoor Left His Business Class Seat A few minutes later, Rishi stood up, leaving his business class seat and walking to the economy section. The legendary actor sat next to Vir and started chatting about his career, even listing the many stars he'd worked with who have continued to get good work. 'Rishi sir said, 'Hey, Veer.' He came and sat next to me and told me this story. He said, 'You know…' and he gave me a list of people who had started with him. Then at one point he said, 'Will you eat your cake?' Then Rishi Kapoor ate my cake.' Vir Das remarked. This funny yet heated argument story of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor is a reminder that even the biggest stars are quite like us, and their topic of argument are also just like an ordinary couple.
