00:00Welcome to CinemaScope, in which we will talk about the veteran actress of Hindi cinema,
00:08Neetu Kapoor, who used to be Neetu Singh before marriage.
00:12In her filmy career, Neetu Singh worked with every big actor of that time, but after marriage,
00:18at the age of 21, she became distant from stardom.
00:21Today is Neetu Kapoor's 66th birthday.
00:24Let's share some heard and some unheard things about her on this occasion.
00:31Neetu's mother was born in a brothel.
00:33Neetu Singh was born on 8 July 1958 in a Jat family in Delhi.
00:38Her real name is Harneet Kaur.
00:40In the Hindi film industry, the stardom that Neetu Singh achieved,
00:43her mother Raji Kaur's struggle is hidden behind it.
00:47Otherwise, today Neetu would have remained as a prostitute in a brothel.
00:50This is going to surprise you, but it is true.
00:53Actually, Neetu Singh's grandmother was left at the brothel after the death of her parents at the age of 10.
01:00After this, she could never get out of this mess.
01:02She got married to Fateh Singh, who worked at the brothel, with whom she had a daughter, Raji.
01:07When Raji grew up, she was also pushed into prostitution.
01:12But one day she ran away and started working in a mill.
01:15This is where she met a man named Darshan Singh, with whom she got married.
01:20She had a daughter, Harneet Kaur, i.e. Neetu Singh.
01:23After the birth of Neetu, her parents took her to Mumbai.
01:31When Neetu was just 5 years old, she lost her father.
01:35After which Raji and her daughter Neetu had to face a struggle.
01:39Raji was beautiful, so she thought why not try her hand in films.
01:43She went to the film studio a lot, but it didn't work out.
01:46Finally, Raji understood that her days as a heroine were over.
01:51Then she started trying to get her daughter Neetu to work in films.
01:54The attempt paid off, and 6-year-old Harneet Kaur, i.e. Neetu, got a chance to work as a child artist in the film Suraj.
02:02Neetu's work was liked a lot.
02:04After this, she got a chance to work in films like 10 Lakhs and Do Kalyan.
02:08Neetu had played a double role in Do Kalyan.
02:11Neetu was seen in this film's song, Bachche Mann Ke Sachhe, which was very popular.
02:21Her mother was not happy with Neetu's popularity as a child artist.
02:25Because she wanted to make her a heroine.
02:27At the age of 15, Neetu got a film Rikshawala with Randhir Kapoor.
02:32The film was a flop, but the makers gave her an offer of many films by being impressed with Neetu's beauty.
02:38At that time, her mother used to take the decisions related to Neetu's career.
02:41Neetu used to sign the same film that her mother used to say.
02:45In 1973, Neetu got the film Yadav Ki Baraat, which was a super hit.
02:49And Neetu's career as a heroine started.
02:54In the first meeting, Neetu was scared of Rishi Kapoor.
02:57Neetu worked with many big actors in her career.
03:00But her pairing with Rishi Kapoor was liked the most.
03:04Both of their love stories were very interesting.
03:06A story related to this was shared by Neetu Singh in an interview.
03:10When Neetu met Rishi Kapoor for the first time, she was very scared of him.
03:14Because when she met Rishi for the first time, he commented on Neetu's clothes and makeup.
03:19Which made her very angry.
03:21Later, when Rishi met her, he used to threaten her.
03:24Which made her very angry.
03:26After the film Bobby, when Dimple Kapadia got married and Rishi had no heroine left.
03:31Because most of the actresses looked older than him.
03:35In this way, Rishi approached her to become his heroine.
03:38Slowly, the fight turned into love.
03:42She left the film industry at the age of 21.
03:45In 1980, when Neetu married Rishi Kapoor, she was just 21 years old.
03:50And at that time, Neetu Singh had a lot of stardom in the industry.
03:53That film had become a superstar with films like Amar, Akbar Anthony, Adalat, Parwarish and Grand Gamble.
04:01But Rishi didn't want Neetu to work in films even after marriage.
04:05That's why Neetu completed her remaining film shooting in three shifts.
04:09And then stopped working in films.
04:11In the year 2020, after Rishi Kapoor's death, Neetu became alone.
04:15But she didn't let herself break.
04:17She focused on films.
04:19And in 2022, she was seen in the film Juk Juk Jio.
04:22Which was quite a hit.
