New Delhi:
Rishi Kapoor was counted among the most romantic actors of his era. By the 90s, he romanced on-screen with many famous heroines and made his place. But in real life, he did not consider himself perfectly fit for the film industry. His co-stars often faced his anger, and an interesting anecdote of Poonam Dhillon was very much discussed about it. Poonam Dhillon worked with Rishi Kapoor in films like ‘Biwi O Biwi’, ‘Ye Vaada Raha’ and ‘Jamana’. In an interview, he shared a funny incident about Rishi Kapoor’s nature and his English love.
Rishi Kapoor’s English love
According to Poonam Dhillon, Rishi Kapoor was very proud of his English. He would often read the time magazine on the set and make it feel that he is the most educated. Poonam told that initially she was a bit uncomfortable with this habit of Rishi Kapoor. But when he started feeling comfortable with him, he told Rishi Kapoor one day, “You are the 10th failure and I am a graduate, so don’t show so much of your English!”.
Rishi Kapoor’s cunning in scrabble game
Poonam Dhillon and Rishi Kapoor often played scrable during shooting. Rishi Kapoor had a habit in this game that he used to make words from his mind, which affected many of his female co-stars. But Poonam Dhillon caught this cunning. He told, “When we used to play scrable, Rishi ji used to try to show his English light. Many heroines used to be impressed by his words, but I used to argue that there was no such word!”
Complaint with Neetu Singh
Poonam Dhillon also told an interesting thing about Rishi Kapoor’s anger. He said that whenever the sage got angry at something, he used to complain to his girlfriend (wife) Neetu Singh. Significantly, the stronger Rishi Kapoor’s personality was, the more his style was unique. This friendly noise of him and Poonam Dhillon still remember his loved ones.
