With coffee cups in their hands and broad smiles on their faces, both actresses discussed everything from kids to grandkids, and how the film industry used to function back in the day.
Mohnish Singh brings the major highlights.
The Final Days
Revisiting the final days of her late husband Rishi Kapoor in New York where he was receiving treatment for cancer, Neetu Kapoor said, '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.'
The actress also revealed how Rishi would not openly show his affection, especially towards her and their children, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and Ranbir Kapoor but that changed during his final days.
'Chintuji (Rishi Kapoor) is a very loving person. He had a lot of love in him. But he never really showed his love. He always kept his distance and bullied people, not showing his love. Especially with me and my children, he was like a big thing.
Respect. 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.'
The Instagram Debut
Zeenat Aman's Instagram debut last year made headlines. KJo praised the actress for serving nostalgia with her pictures on the platform and writing beautiful captions.
Zeenat says how she discovered the platform: 'It wasn't me, it was my kids. It was my younger son and his partner.'
'I think Instagram is such a wonderful platform if used correctly. It gives you a voice, provides a space to express yourself authentically, not dictated by a third or fourth-person's definition of you. I was overwhelmed with the love and affection, completely overwhelmed.'
