Veteran actor Neetu Kapoor has opened up about how her privacy is important to her and why she chooses not to live with son Ranbir Kapoor or daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. Neetu has chosen to stay on at her residence after husband Rishi Kapoor passed away last year.
Speaking in an interview, Neetu said she wants them to be busy with their lives. She said, “I say mere dil mein raho, mere sar pe mat chadho (stay in my heart, don't stand on my head). When Riddhima was with me during the pandemic, I was so stressed for one year because she couldn't go back. I used to get restless. I used to tell her to go back, Bharat (son-in-law) is along. I was literally pushing her away. I like my privacy. I am used to this way of life.”
After Rishi's death in 2020, Neetu has maintained that her children helped her heal. She had earlier said that the two of them supported her and gave her time to heal. Now, she wants them “to be busy with their lives” and stay in her heart.
“They have to get on with their lives. I get happy when they come, but I want them to go back to their homes and be settled. I just say one thing, don’t meet me every day, but stay connected. I don’t want them to be around me all the time, I am very independent that way. I love my life the way it is,” the actor added.
Neetu is making a comeback with Raj Mehta's 'Jug Jugg Jeeyo'. The movie also stars Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles.
