Happy Birthday Neetu Kapoor: Her Best Songs Which Made Their Way Into Our Hearts!

Remember the song 'Murga Murgi Pyaar Se Dekhe' from the 1968 film Do Kaliyaan? It featured a young Neetu Singh (then credited as baby Sonia) lip-syncing to the lyrics as tears rolled down her face. Who knew back then that this adorable kid would eventually grow up to become one of the most popular leading ladies in the 70s and 80s!

With her trademark curls and kohl-rimmed eyes, the actress breezed into the hearts of the audience with her effervescent persona.

"Contrary to her glamorous image, I have cast Neetu in a different mould. Wait till Kabhi Kabhie is released. Neetu will go places as a talented actor," the legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra had said in one of his interviews prior the film's release. His words rang true as Neetu continued to rule over hearts with her acting chops. Even when she worked with some of the top male stars like Rishi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor and others, the actress stood tall in the frame.
