And Bollywood veteran actress, Neetu Kapoor has been going through the same phase ever since the demise of late legendary actor, Rishi Kapoor.

God has been kind. We’ve had a normal life, we have our share of fights and arguments which I think every normal couple has. It’s been quite smooth for us."
