We continue with our Kapoor family series and discuss Rishi, the most
famous and successful Kapoor of his generation, and his onscreen and
offscreen hit jodi with Beth's favorite Neetu Singh.
Points discussed:
• Rishi's sequin jumpsuits in Karz
• his Qawwali king status
• his disappointed sadface in many movies,
• his sweater wardrobe
• his moppety effervescent energy and cuteness with Neetu in Khel Khel Mein and elsewhere
• what Neetu brought to 70s films that other women didn't
• his frankness in interviews and social media
Brother Randhir makes a brief appearance as a rickshawala in this
episode.
Our other Rishi-centric episodes include
• qawallis (https://youtu.be/wTINpaD0Htc?si=BSgC1UgDu_yRn-Iq) (with
guest Sujoy from @khandaanpodcast),
• his autobiography Khullam Khulla
(https://youtu.be/pWpWG1nSJmo?si=5HHZwGXLrmIpPGZ4), and
• playing against type
(https://youtu.be/Y81uvvKEefc?si=LozMNNOrebCqmltl)
And please watch the mind-bending song Main Haseen Hoon Main Jawan Hoon
from Rickshawala and tell Beth WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!
