Riddhima’s First Bollywood Film at 45
For years, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni stayed away from films despite belonging to one of Bollywood’s most iconic families. While her brother Ranbir Kapoor became a leading Bollywood star, Riddhima focused on her career in fashion and jewellery design.
Now, after decades away from cinema, she is making her acting debut with Daadi Ki Shaadi.
Last year, after completing the film’s shoot, Riddhima shared an emotional note on social media describing the experience as one of the most special moments of her life. She wrote that the 52-day shoot brought together over 200 people to create a heartwarming and entertaining family film filled with laughter, emotions, dance, and celebration.
Interestingly, not just Riddhima, but even her daughter Samaira is making her acting debut in the film. During a recent promotional interaction, Neetu Kapoor revealed that she initially burst out laughing when the makers asked whether Riddhima would be interested in acting. According to Neetu, Riddhima herself laughed loudly at the idea of entering Bollywood at 45. However, after some thought, she eventually decided to take on the challenge and become part of the project.
