I got the following from the article below:

"Moreover, in the late 1990's, Rishi's career was at an all time low. In his late forties, with his family's tendency to gain weight, he had a paunch and becoming a romantic lead was just not realistic. Frustrated, he took to the bottle, another family trait. It was rumored in Bollywood that he had become an alcoholic. Neetu called the Police claiming that her husband would often get drunk and beat her up and that the frequency and intensity had increased...The next day, Neetu retracted her complaint. The domestic violence complaint was carried by the newspapers. It was even reported that Neetu moved out of the house and started a salon for a time
On November 1st 1997, at 3:45 a.m. Bandra police station received a call from Neetu Singh calling from their bungalow at 27, Krishna Raj road on Pali Hill, claiming that her husband would often get drunk and beat her up and that the frequency and intensity had increased. When they arrived to the house, however, Rishi told them that his wife was soundly asleep. The next day, Neetu retracted her complaint. The domestic violence complaint was carried by the newspapers. It was even reported that Neetu moved out of the house and started a salon for a time"

I actually remember this from 1997/98, it was in the news. That the worse time of Rishi's career, a true middle age crisis and he was taking it out on his family, even Ranbir talked about this time period in one of the interviews.

Also remember that Simi Garewal interview Rishi did in 1997, from the rendezvous show she use to do back then, clearly he was big time drunk in it!

Yes, Neetu and Rishi were separated for awhile , maybe even few years
Looked like it was heading Randhir-Babita way but later they reconciled and got back together

The surprising thing is I couldn't find anything about it online now... It's like it never happened :)

Poor Neetu, If only Twitter existed in those times this whole situation could've been avoided.

Rishi does have a violent temper
It still can be seen on Twitter at times
We can only guess what she must have faced

Yes... it was early 2000s I think.. Rishi had just switched to mature roles, Rati Agnihotri was paired opposite him as his estranged wife (mirroring his real life)

Some people even suggested Neetu should've played that role, but Neetu was not least bit interested.
