Here's
How
Rishi-Neetu
Became
A
Hit
On-screen
Couple
Neetu
shared,
"After
Bobby
became
a
superhit,
Dimple
got
married
and
Rishi
was
left
with
no
other
heroine
because
everyone
used
to
look
older
than
him.
I
was
the
only
young
actress
around
and
by
default,
after
Rickshawala,
all
his
movies
started
coming
to
me."
Neetu
Recalls
The
Moment
When
She
Decided
To
Spend
Her
Life
With
Rishi
"I
don't
remember
the
exact
moment.
But
I
had
signed
a
lot
of
movies.
I
was
starting
to
gain
confidence.
My
mother
was
very
protective
of
me
and
used
to
send
my
cousin
Lovely
on
my
dinner
dates
with
Rishi.
I
was
very
young,
and
I
had
never
really
been
on
a
date
before.
This
went
on
for
three
years,
after
which
I
signed
'Naseeb',
'Shaan' and
another
four
or
five
big-budget
movies.
Then
Rishiji
asked,
'You
are
signing
so
many
movies,
don't
you
want
to
get
married?'
He
was
thinking
about
it,
I
had
no
idea.
He
had
never
said
that
he
wants
to
get
married.
We
were
just
dating.
So
I
said,
'There
has
to
be
a
boy
to
get
married
to'.
Rishiji
said,
'So
who
am
I?'"
Neetu's
Mother
Was
Happy
With
Their
Marriage
Plans
"I
returned
the
signing
amounts
of
all
the
movies
I
had
signed,
and
then
gave
notice
to
everyone
asking
them
to
finish
all
pending
movies.
I
had
worked
so
hard
in
that
one
year
(to
complete
all
projects
before
marriage),
you
can't
even
imagine."
When
She
Decided
To
Quit
Films
Neetu
recalled,
"And
then
my
husband
told
me
to
finish
everything,
so
we
could
eventually
start
a
family.
It
wasn't
that
women
couldn't
work
(after
marriage)
but
I
was
tired
working
for
15
years
continuously.
I
wanted
a
simple
life."
