On Tuesday, July 8, 2025, Neetu Kapoor celebrated her 67th birthday, and the occasion was marked with warm wishes from her daughter, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. Riddhima took to Instagram to express her love and admiration for her mother, highlighting their strong bond.
Riddhima shared a heartfelt video collage on her Instagram stories, featuring precious moments with Neetu, her brother Ranbir Kapoor, sister-in-law Alia Bhatt, and her late father, Rishi Kapoor. In her caption, Riddhima called Neetu "the most incredible woman I know!" and conveyed how blessed she feels every day to be her daughter.

Neetu Kapoor, a celebrated actress known for her contributions to Hindi cinema from the late 1960s through the early 1980s, has garnered immense love and respect from both the industry and her family. In 2012, she was inducted into the Walk of the Stars, an entertainment hall of fame in Mumbai. She began her career with the film "Suraj" in 1966 and starred in numerous successful movies like "Rickshawala", "Yaadon Ki Baaraat", "Deewaar", "Khel Khel Mein", "Kabhi Kabhie", "Amar Akbar Anthony", "Dharam Veer", "Parvarish", "Jaani Dushman", "Kaala Patthar" and "Yaarana". After a hiatus following the 1983 thriller "Ganga Meri Maa," she made a comeback with a minor role in the romantic comedy "Love Aaj Kal" and has since appeared in "Jugjugg Jeeyo".
In addition to Riddhima's touching tribute, Neetu is set to appear in Kapil Sharma's upcoming film, tentatively titled "DKS," where she will be sharing screen space with Riddhima Kapoor. The film, directed by Ashish R Mohan, has been extensively shot in Shimla.
Previously, on Neetu Kapoor's 66th birthday, Riddhima surprised her mother with a unique and deeply personal tribute: a tattoo dedicated to her featuring the word "Kuks," a term of endearment used by Neetu for her daughter.
