Rishi Kapoor is no friend of his daughter: Neetu Kapoor.

Koffee With Karan,” Neetu Kapoor and Zeenat Aman engaged in a diverse discussion covering various topics, with a primary focus on the late Rishi Kapoor. The 12th episode, aired at midnight last Thursday, delved into subjects such as their children, grandchildren, Instagram accounts, the film industry’s history, and more. Neetu shared poignant moments from Rishi’s last days during his cancer treatment in New York, expressing her preference for cherishing the happy memories.

Reflecting on Rishi Kapoor’s changed demeanor towards their kids in his final days, Neetu highlighted his previously reserved nature, particularly with expressions of love. She mentioned how Rishi, affectionately known as Chintu Ji, had not fully expressed his love before but opened up during his last year, creating beautiful moments for the family.

The episode also touched upon Rishi Kapoor’s passing in 2020 after a prolonged battle with leukemia. Neetu and Rishi are survived by their children, Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor. Ranbir, in a separate event, acknowledged their formal relationship, regretting the inability to share more meaningful conversations due to Rishi’s extensive travel. Despite the lack of a close friendship, Ranbir expressed contentment in being able to share love with his daughter.

A missed opportunity on Koffee with Karan Season 8 was the absence of banter between Neetu Kapoor and Zeenat Aman on their 1970s heroes. Both actresses, at the peak of their careers, had left the industry after marriage and children. Their recent comebacks, Neetu coping with Rishi’s loss and Zeenat’s Instagram debut, showcased their enduring relevance. In contrast to the recent appearance of Sharmila Tagore with son Saif Ali Khan, where the focus remained on the Pataudi family, it would have been entertaining to witness a lively discussion between two 1970s icons.

However, the interaction between Zeenat and Neetu felt reminiscent of a bygone era, akin to seasoned peers revisiting their prime. Drawing parallels to memorable pairings like Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla in Season 4 or Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor in Season 6, the conversation harked back to the 1970s.
