Rishi Kapoor’s Bold Tweets Once Sparked A Protest At His House; Neetu Kapoor Admits: “It Scared Me Badly”

Their journey began on the sets of Zehreela Insaan, where Neetu and Rishi Kapoor became close friends. That friendship evolved into love, and they married in 1980.

Parents to Riddhima and Ranbir, the couple experienced their share of relationship hurdles, but Neetu remained Rishi’s constant support, especially during his illness and final days.

Following A Provocative Post By Rishi Kapoor, Demonstrators Assembled Outside His House

Neetu Kapoor, during her appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, opened up about a controversial social media post by Rishi Kapoor that caused her concern, according to a Hindustan Times report. Though she avoided details, she described how the post sparked protests outside their house.

Recalling the event, Neetu Kapoor said, “There were 300 people on the street, a police truck, and chants of ‘Rishi Kapoor, haaye haaye.’ I was frightened.”

A police officer then asked her to ask Rishi to tone down his tweets. “I was so upset I said, ‘Let’s go together and tell him what’s happening.’” When she approached Rishi, who was already watching the news, he said, “You need guts for this.”

Three days after the protest, Neetu said a police officer arrived at their home and warned her about a possible threat. Rishi reduced the intensity of his tweets only after receiving this warning.
