Neetu Kapoor talked to The Quint in an interview and mentioned the two unfilled wishes of her husband. She said, “One was to see Ranbir wearing a turban with an emerald and a broach in the Peshawari tradition–astride a ghodi (horse), on his wedding day. He was totally sentimental about this, he’d keep saying, ‘Kisi din, mujhe hamare bete ko ghodi pe sawaar dekhna hai (Someday I want to see our son on a horse)’.” The actor added that the second wish was to see their Krishna Raj house reconstructed into a lavish space with separate apartments for him and Neetu, and their two kids – Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, and Ranbir. She said that the late actor would visit the construction site everyday to assist the designers and workers with minute details until COVID-19 happened.
