Neetu Kapoor says she had bought four to five properties and her own Mercedes by the age of 15.
She told Curly Tales she had appeared in around 100 films by the time she turned 21. The interview was reported on 9 November.
She started as a child artist at five, in the film Suraj, sharing the screen with Vyjayanthimala.
She later played a double role in Do Kaaliyan. By age eleven she had already done 10 films.
After a break from 11 to 13, she came back at 14. Between 14 and 21 she did around 70 movies.
She bought the Mercedes at 15, while she was still in the eighth standard at school.
She often worked three shifts a day, starting at 7 am. That left little room for a normal school life.
She married Rishi Kapoor in 1980 and stepped away from films. She said the decision was not a hard one.
The couple had two children, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and Ranbir Kapoor. Neetu stayed away from films for about 25 years.
She returned with a cameo in Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal in 2009 and has kept working in films since then.
