Neetu posted the video to Instagram and complained about “losing a partner.” “Today is two years after Rishi Ji left us,” she wrote. The loss of a 45-year companion was difficult and traumatic, and the only way to heal my heart at the time was to keep myself intellectually engaged… I was aided in this endeavor by movies and television. Rishiji will be remembered forever and will live on in everyone’s hearts.”
