Neetu Kapoor, who started afresh after husband Rishi Kapoor's death, revealed that she was hesitant to work again as celebrities are easy prey to trolls nowadays. Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor encouraged their mom to take a plunge which actually brought her happiness, revealed the film veteran. Neetu Kapoor made a special appearance on the new season of Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives where Riddhima made her screen debut this year. In one episode, Neetu Kapoor told her daughter, "After Papa (Rishi) went...I was not ready. You know how the trolls are. But you (Riddhima and Ranbir) pushed me. I did a show, I did ads. I used to shake before going."
