Riddhima Kapoor says Rishi Kapoor wouldn’t have stopped her from acting: ‘If I had asked’ | Bollywood News
4 min readKochiJun 12, 2026 11:31 AM IST After staying away from Tinseltown for the longest time, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, the daughter of Bollywood legends Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor (née Singh), finally made her acting debut last month with director Ashish R Mohan’s comedy-drama Daadi Ki Shaadi. While she appeared alongside her mother, Neetu, marking her comeback to movies after four years, Daadi Ki Shaadi also made Riddhima the oldest Kapoor woman to make her film debut. Despite belonging to the Kapoor khandan, arguably the biggest and most powerful film family in Bollywood, Riddhima, intriguingly, faced a movie camera for the first time at 45. While many assumed this was due to the family’s former unwritten rule that women shouldn’t work in show business or to Rishi Kapoor’s resistance, Riddhima recently dispelled such speculation, insisting that her father was actually supportive of her dreams.
