In the episode, the JugJugg Jeeyo actress recalled the time she spent with her late husband in New York when he was receiving treatment for cancer. She told the host Karan Johar, “So Karan for me, I don’t like to remember the sad part. I like to remember the good part of our relationship and of our time in New York. So New York was really sad, but we had the best year, I had the best year of my life."

Neetu also shared how the Mulk actor would rarely be casual and friendly with his kids but that changed in the final days. "Because you know Chintu Ji (Rishi Kapoor) is a very loving person. He had a lot of love in him. But there was something he never really showed his love. He always kept his distance and bullied people, not show his love. Especially with me and my children, he was like a big thing. Respect and all and with that he lost out on a lot with his children. He was never a friend to them. But that year, he opened up. He showed love, went towards me also he was so lovely. We had the best time", she added.

Rishi Kapoor passed away in 2020 at the age of 67. He was suffering from leukaemia. He was in New York for a considerable amount of time for his treatment. Neetu was there for him as a rock-solid partner through thick and thin.Hosted by Karan Johar, Koffee With Karan 8 is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.READ | Not Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan, these two actors were Farhan Akhtar's original choices for Dil Chahta Hai
