Judging from their natural companionship in these films, it was no surprise when the cupid struck them and they decided to get married.

Rishi and Neetu got married at RK house in 1979. The Sangeet and all other celebrations were also held at the house. But the wedding ceremony was held at the Golf course in Chembur, Mumbai, because it was a grand affair where the entire film industry was invited.

The reception was at RK Studios. All other celebrations went on for 20 days at RK House. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan performed at the wedding. That's when people got to know of him.

Raj Kapoor had heard him casually somewhere and kept him in mind and invited him for Rishi Kapoor’s Sangeet. He sang all night. The gaana bajaana went on for days.

For the wedding, Neetu Singh at that time wore a lehenga bought from Delhi. For the reception, Krishna Raj Kapoor had made a sari in silver for her daughter-in-law to be. The Moranis had organised the fireworks, which went on for half an hour. The entire area from RK house to the golf course was cordoned off.

Neetu fainted at wedding as the lehenga was too heavy and the place was croweded with people and so did Rishi Kapoor faint before he could climb the Ghodi (horse).
