Frothy like champagne, fizzier than the tangiest soda, as natural as sunshine streaming through orchards... Neetu Singh was all about joie de vivre. From the classroom to the camera, hers was a career jumpstart. But she was no precocious adolescent trying to pose as a heroine. Rather, her onscreen effervescence was an extension of her off-screen innocence. If heroes felt protective towards her, heroines wanted to befriend her. So earnest and easygoing was her vibe. Her chemistry with Rishi Kapoor is the stuff of campus dreams.
A cusp between a girl and a teenager, 15-year-old Neetu debuted as the female lead in Rickshawala (1973) opposite Randhir Kapoor. The K Shankar film flopped but soon enough her cameo in Nasir Hussainís Yaadon Ki Baarat (1973), courtesy the RD Burman dance number Lekar hum deewana dil with Tariq Hussain, made her hot property.
Destiny pushed her towards Rishi Kapoor, who then found himself in a professional and personal vacuum after alleged ladylove Dimple Kapadia, quit films and his life to marry superstar Rajesh Khanna. And in walked NeetuÖ as a replacement in those films and to be a permanent fixture in his life later.
A commitment phobic Rishi, eventually proposed to Neetu in 1979, after dating her for five years. They got married in a hi-profile celebration in 1980. Apparently, part of the wedding mandap was used in Raj Kapoorís Prem Rog (1982). The home-loving Neetu, who had been working since childhood, was only too happy to exchange the pancake for the pans. She retired at 21.
