The same picture was shared as a story on her daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's official Instagram account. The photo posted by Neetu Kapoor is presented as a collage of four pictures. In the first picture, Rishi Kapoor is represented as a child wearing a school uniform and gazing into the distance. The photo looks as if it was originally black and white, but was later coloured artificially. The second picture shows Rishi Kapoor as a young man, probably a teenager or a man in his early twenties. It looks like it has been taken from a movie poster or is a still from one of the late actor's movies.
