Neetu Kapoor opens up about Rishi Kapoor's death
Opening up about grief and healing after Rishi Kapoor’s passing, Neetu Kapoor shared, “You always need people to talk to. I don’t really believe in therapists as much as I believe in friends. You should have four or five friends with whom you can truly talk things out. When Papa passed away, people told me to go to a therapist. I was in a really low phase, and I did speak to one, but I kept wondering, what is a therapist really going to say? ‘Meditate, count this, count that’? I felt it was all nonsense."
