Neetu Kapoor is on a comeback trail. She shares her hopes and apprehensions with Vedanshi Pathak and also recollects what it feels like to be a mother to Riddhima and Ranbir

- Vedanshi Pathak

Neetu Kapoor is all set to make a comeback as an actor in Raj Mehta’s Jug Jugg Jeeyo. She started life as a child actor, graduated to doing lead roles in films but left acting after marriage to be the emotional anchor to her husband, the late Rishi Kapoor. Later, she became a helicopter mom of sorts to Riddhima and Ranbir. Her children became her life. Her world revolved around them, making sure her kids were being brought up properly. Her routine changed somewhat after they grew up and started their own lives. Rishi Kapoor got diagnosed with cancer a few years back and she was there with him every inch of the way, helping him battle the disease. She lost him last year and then decided that one way to deal with her sorrow was to put on the greasepaint and face the arc lights again. In a straight-from-the-heart interview, she narrates her struggles of becoming a full-time actor once more and also shares glimpses of what life was as a hands-on mother in an actors’ household.

You are starting life again as an actor with Jug Jugg Jeeyo. What difference did you find between then and now when you landed on the sets?
