Subhash Ghai showers blessings on Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt, recalls playing dholak at Rishi Kapoor-Neetu Singh's wedding
As late legend Rishi Kapoor and veteran actress Neetu Kapoor's son Ranbir Kapoor is getting married to Bollywood diva Alia Bhatt, filmmaker and Rishi ji's close friend Subhash Ghai opened up about his memories from Rishi-Neetu's wedding.
Subhash Ghai was one of the key guests at Rishi's wedding in 1980. In an exclusive conversation with ETimes, Subhah Ghai shared that RK weddings have the best of food, drinks and music. He said, 'Chintu and Neetu got married in 'RK' style. RK style wedding was a big affair with warmth, affection and love for everyone. Raj Kapoor Sahab used to treat film industry as a family. Rishi and Neetu have been my favourite couple and part of our family. The Kapoors are very warm people. They are the people who are above the mathematics of the film business. The whole family including Raj Sahab's wife was very affectionate towards us. RK weddings have the best of food, drinks and music and everyone participates. Raj Sahab was very happy when I played the dholak at Rishi and Neetu's wedding.'
Coming to the most talked about marriage of Bollywood, Subhash Ghai showered his blessings on Ranbir and Alia and said, 'I was very close to Rishi and Neetu and I'm very happy for Ranbir and Alia. Back then, we were all young friends - Chintu, Dabbu (Randhir Kapoor) and Chimpu (Rajeev Kapoor). Generations have changed but I'm sure Ranbir too has his friends from the fraternity. Neetu is one of the finest ladies in our industry, very lovely and affectionate. She has groomed her children very well. I have shot one film with Rishi and Ranbir titled Pyar Ki Ganga Bahe back in 1991. Ranbir was 8 or 10 years of age at that time. As an uncle, Ranbir and Alia have all my blessings.'
Meanwhile, both Kapoors and Bhatts are tight-lipped about this big fat wedding but Alia's mentor and one of her closest persons in the industry Karan Johar wished the soon to be married couple on social media. Later, Karan, Kareena Kapoor Kha, Karisma Kapoor, Armaan Jain were spotted arriving in style at Ranbir Kapoor's Vastu residence for pre-wedding festivities!
