Neetu and Rishi Kapoor were not just a beloved real-life couple but also one of the most iconic on-screen pairs of the 1970s and 1980s. Together, they starred in classics such as Amar Akbar Anthony, Rafoo Chakkar, Khel Khel Mein, Kabhi Kabhie, and Besharam. Their effortless chemistry made them one of Hindi cinema's most cherished duos.

Reportedly, the couple first met on the sets of Zehreela Insaan in 1970. Although their initial meeting wasn't smooth, love blossomed while shooting Kabhi Kabhie in 1976. They tied the knot on January 22, 1980, and went on to become proud parents to Riddhima and Ranbir Kapoor.
