Neetuji also added how Rishi had proposed to her via a telegram, saying, “He was in Paris whereas I was shooting in Kashmir and suddenly I got a telegram from Rishi saying that he misses me and loves me.” Then came the biggest surprise of all when Neetu Singh confessed how she saw glimpses of Rishi Kapoor in Danish's performance, no doubt leaving the young singer simultaneously overjoyed and overwhelmed. “Today, in Danis's performance, I could see a glimpse of Rishi because even he used to perform like you with soul and heart. Even your looks are very similar to Rishi.”
We bet that Danish isn't going to ever stop regaling this anecdote to people for all eternity.
