RISHI - YOU HAVE LOCKED UP YOURSELF AND LOST THE KEYS TOO...

Rishi is no more with us, he has locked himself up with GOD forever and we can see him no more.  Such a wonderful man, but he too had to leave the world.
 
I am deeply saddened not only because he deserved to live longer due to his loving nature, but also because Neetu deserves to live their love story longer.  She is yet another symbol of affection. 
 
My association with the family goes back to 1980s.  During every visit to Mumbai, I used to stay in their house.  I have in fact  accompanied both Rishi and Neetu to one Social Gathering in Bombay.  Their family culture is amazing and each one of them looks out for the others.  The bond is  strong.  I still remember young Karisma  running around with a flute, dancing and playing.
 
Even though they were from the celluloid field with numerous fans and admirers and had a reputed family background, at heart they were very simple and down to earth.  On one of my visits when  I returned to their home  after attending the surgical association meeting I was late for lunch.  To my surprise, I saw Neetu waiting for me , which we had around 3 o'clock.
 
When I asked her why she waited for such a long time, her response was that Krishnaji had gone out and Rishi was busy in the studio and there was nobody to give her company and so when I came for lunch she was happy for my company.
