In 2013, in an interview with Miss Malini, Neetu Kapoor had opened up about her late husband, Rishi Kapoor, and had recalled the days when he sent her love letters through the help of their co-stars. The doting wife had also added that she was considered Rishi Kapoor's property. Neetu had also talked about the time when she had lost some weight, and it had made Rishi a bit insecure. She had said:
"Rishi would write letters when I went outdoors and have it delivered to me by all his friends who were my co-stars. I would be teased and be considered his property. We were dating for five years.

"He would initially say, 'I am going around with you, but will not get married to you. But then one day he asked me, 'Don't you want to get married?' I said, 'To whom? 'He said 'What do you think I am?' I agreed. I had settled my mom financially and bought her a house. She did my wedding in a grand way and the whole of India was upset that Rishi Kapoor was getting married."
