Neetu Kapoor: “I want to be mentally occupied, travel, shoot, and do TV shows, I don’t want to sit at home”

Actress Neetu Kapoor has recalled working with her late spouse, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor saying that did several films with him because he asked her to. In a recent interview, Neetu said that she didn’t do the movies of her own will. Neetu added that she was doing it as a ‘favour’ to Rishi Kapoor and also to make him happy.

In an interview with news agency PTI, Neetu said, “Today, my heart is saying, I want to work. I want to be busy, don’t want to be alone, and think about the past. I want to be mentally occupied, travel, shoot, and do TV shows. I don’t want to sit at home. There were films that I did with my husband and I was like a chamchi (sycophant), he would say come and do it. Apni will se kuch nahi kiya (I did not do it off my own will). Jug Jugg Jeeyo is my will. I was doing (all that) trying to make my husband happy. Like, one shot in Love Aaj Kal, then with Do Dooni Chaar some actress didn’t want to be a mother of two older children, I don’t have those hang-ups. They requested and I did it. So, I was doing him a favour, not that I wanted to do.”

Talking about the current projects, she said, “It has been a ride for me, for the whole family. There is so much support for each other. We are keeping ourselves busy. My kids told me don’t sit at home, get busy. I don’t want to sit and think, and be sad. I want to be busy with work, meet people. Earlier, it was all about my husband and kids.” She also added, “All these years, I was receiving loads of offers. I didn’t feel like doing it because my world was busy, occupied, now my world is empty. I want to be busy. So, I am inviting work into my life.”
