Neetu Kapoor bid adieu to a promising film career following her marriage with Rishi Kapoor at the age of 21. The actress, who returned to the big screen with Love Aaj Kal in 2009, finds herself in the spotlight again – this time, for her television debut with Dance Deewane Juniors and most importantly, her son, Ranbir Kapoor’s marriage to Alia Bhatt next week. Expressing excitement in an interview with BT, she adds that she hopes to share with her bahu the same outstanding relationship that she shared with her saas, Krishna Raj Kapoor. Excerpts…

You started at a very young age as a child artiste. Do you relate to the kids and their journey when you judge them on the show?

Kids are my weakness. I love them. They all dance so beautifully, I get confused while deciding who performed better. The experts in dance are Marzi Pestonji and Nora Fatehi and I enjoy learning from them. We weren’t perfect,but we learnt from our mistakes. Even the public would give us second chances ki yeh film nahi chali toh doosri chalegi. Today, they are trained and perfect. So, you can’t tell who is good and who is bad. Of course, we encourage them. But otherwise, all of them are outstanding and are doing something new. I am learning from them, and it is amazing.

One expected to see more of you in films following your return to the big screen with Love Aaj Kal and Do Dooni Chaar (2010), but you choose to do just a select few. Have you had a change of heart recently as you’ve taken on more projects?
