So I was torn between both of them."

But there was something he never really showed his love for. He always kept his distance and bullied people, not showed his love."
She further continued, "Especially with me and my children, he was like a big thing - respect and all. And, with that, he lost out on a lot with his children. He was never a friend to them. But that year, he opened up. He showed love and went towards me; he was also so lovely. We had the best time."

Neetu said, "I had worked for 15 years, so you get tired. My kids were born, and I just wanted to dedicate myself to my children and my house, and my husband was very possessive. He wanted me all the time to just be around and be there. So that’s the way my life was, and I was very happy."
"I had such a lovely household; everybody was so full of love, and my mother-in-law was one of the best human beings ever. My father-in-law was so wonderful; we were like one happy Punjabi family, and we had so much fun. My best years were when I stayed in Chembur at Deonar Cottage," she concluded.

In an old interview, the Yaadon Ki Baarat actress opened up about Rishi Kapoor's past affairs, even after he married Neetu Singh. She claims that her husband was flirtatious and that she knew about his flings.Rumors suggested Rishi continued to be romantically involved with his Bobby co-star, Dimple Kapadia, even after tying the knot.
“I have caught him flirting hundreds of times. I always seem to be the first to hear about his affairs at outdoor locations. But I know they are just one-night stands. Two years ago, I used to fight with him about it, but now I have adopted the attitude, Go ahead, let’s see how long you will do it,” said Neetu.
She further added, “We have become very confident about each other. I know his family comes first, so why should I bother about his flings? They are just passing fancies. He is too dependent on me; he will never leave me. I feel that men should be given a certain amount of freedom. They are flirtatious by nature. One cannot bind them down.”
