Two years ago, on this day, legendary actor Rishi Kapoor breathed his last after a prolonged battle with leukemia. The news of his demise was a huge shock for the film fraternity as well as his fans across the globe. On his second death anniversary today (April 30, 2022), his actress-wife Neetu Kapoor remembered him with a heartfelt post.

Neetu Kapoor posted a video from the sets of Dance Deewane Juniors, in which a contestant is seen sharing how the late actor had helped her husband. Hearing her words, the Kabhi Kabhie actress is seen getting teary-eyed and saying, "Rishi ji nahi hai but mai roz kisi na kisi se milti hu aur roz koi na koi mujhe unki yaad dilaata hai. Sabki ek story hai unke saath (Rishi ji is no longer here but everyday someone or the other reminds me of him. Everybody has a story with him)."

Neetu captioned the video as "Today is two years since rishi ji left us ... losing a partner of 45 years was difficult n painful at that time the only way to heal my heart was to keep myself mentally occupied .. Movie n television helped me achieve that Rishi ji will always be remembered n will stay in everyone's heart forever."
