From Baby Sonia as a child artiste to NEETU SINGH as a top ranking heroine in Bollywood to NEETU KAPOOR as the wife of a top rung actor-RISHI KAPOOR and now the proud mother of the sensational new star on the block-RANBIR KAPOOR and if I'm not jumping the gun next she may just be the mom-in law of supermodel turned sensational actress-DEEPIKA PADUKONE.

In more ways than one the 50 plus stunning NEETU SINGH KAPOOR has not only donned several caps but also virtually seen it all and done it all be it as a child artiste supporting her family or an ambitious actress who was always amongst the top three heroines since she appeared in 'Yaadon Ki Baraat and almost stole ZEENAT AMAN'S thunder from right under her nose to go on and become a virtual heart throb of the nation when she connected with RISHI KAPOOR and gave one super-hit after another be it Raffoo Chakkar, Khel Khel Mein, Doosra Aadmi, Kabhie Kabhie and lot's many more.Not just that she was equally popular with other heroes be it Jeetandra, Dharamendra, Rajesh Khanna,Vinod Khanna, Randhir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan and whoever she chose to work with. Any other heroine would have put marriage on hold to relish the fruits of her success but she threw it all up the moment RISHI or CHINTU BABA as she called him offered marriage after a prolonged engagement.

When it came to romance and matters of the heart nothing else mattered for NEETU SINGH no wonder she could turn her back on a successful career and walk away into the sunset to live happily ever after with the man she loved!!!

Now almost 25 years later with daughter RIDDHIMA married and son on the verge of becoming a national heart throb exactly like his dad RISHI KAPOOR was post Bobby the best thing NEETU SINGH KAPOOR could give her die-hard fans on her golden jubilee Birthday as a Thank You Gift was her decision to give her consent to return back to where she always belonged when she signed 'Do Duni Char' with hubby Rishi Kapoor.Indeed NEETU SINGH has lived a complete and rather perfect live both on as well as off-screen!!!

                      NEETU SINGH KAPOOR QUOTE MARTIAL!!!

"Unlike what the world may like to believe, I really pampered Ridhima.In comparison Ranbir had it much tougher.I never gave him anything on a platter and not once did I allow him to take either of us for granted. He maybe earning his millions yet her gets a fixed allowance from me!!!"

"Both my husband and me were very nervous when Ranbir's 'Saawariya' was ready for release. Me being the tougher of the two I kept my nervousness concealed while he was a nervous wreck.So much so he went for an outdoor shoot to Chandigarh to avoid being at the release!!"

"I've taught Ranbir two things in life as his basic foundations..'One learn to respect money and it will respect you also' and second 'no matter what, don't take anyone for granted but always be nice to everyone..It costs nothing to be nice but goes a real long way both in life as well as in this industry!!"

"If I'm hopping mad and fuming,Ranbir just looks and asks me if I had a real bad day and I just melt and feel the anger and negativity seep out of my system.He has such a calming effect..His way of dealing with problems is so calming!"

"I was so fed up of being called moti all my life that I decided once and for all to lose my weight. Every evening I would get into my leotards, play the Jane Fonda work-out on my video and exercise with the Hollywood actress…That’s how I did it!!!
