Neetu Kapoor frequently shares photos and memories of her late husband, Rishi, keeping their cherished moments alive. Earlier, on May 29, the ‘Jugjugg Jeeyo’ actress celebrated 45 years of the film "Karz," which featured Rishi Kapoor and Tina Munim in the lead roles. Sharing a video, Neetu wrote, “Some memories get even better with time. The Karz reunion was beautiful and evoked so many special moments from such a beautiful chapter of my life. Thank you for the beautiful comments and love! It’s wonderful to note that #Karz touched a chord in your lives too.”

Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai also shared a picture of Neetu Kapoor receiving the trophy on behalf of her late husband Rishi as the film ‘Karz’ clocked 45 years. The director also penned a long note in the caption, as he wrote, “When Neetu Rishi Kapoor paid her tribute to her husband Rishi Kapoor looking up to God. While receiving the ‘Karz’ trophy in celebration of its 45 years of glory at the Red Lorry Film Festival. It was really an emotional moment for all of us n we remembered n paid our sincere tribute to rishi kapoor as an actor star and person.”

Rishi Kapoor passed away on April 30, 2020, at the age of 67, after a courageous battle with leukemia. He had initially traveled to New York in 2018 for treatment and, after eight months of intensive care, was declared cancer-free. The veteran actor returned to Mumbai in September 2019. Unfortunately, his health took another turn, and he fell ill again, ultimately succumbing to the illness the following year.
