Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's acting debut in 'Daadi Ki Shaadi' at 45 is a deeply personal and emotional journey. As the daughter of the late Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, she reflects on the surreal experience, feeling like everything has come full circle. The thought of her father's presence gives her strength and comfort, a reminder of his enduring legacy.
Stepping into the film industry at this stage presented unique challenges. Riddhima admits to a certain vulnerability in starting fresh, but also embraces the excitement of a new world. Her previous experience on a reality show proved invaluable, providing a sense of ease and familiarity that smoothed her transition into acting.
Working with her mother, Neetu Kapoor, was a special moment. Riddhima was in awe of her mother's effortless and instinctive acting, a testament to the Kapoor family's legacy. The advice from her brother, Ranbir Kapoor, to stay natural and not overthink, was instrumental in her performance. Ranbir's recommendation for the project further solidified the family's bond and support.
The Kapoor family's influence is evident in Riddhima's debut. She feels honored to be a part of their legacy, particularly the grace and strength of the women in her family. This debut is a reflection of the changing times and the empowerment of women, where age and expectations no longer dictate choices.
A personal highlight was her daughter, Samara's, small but significant appearance. As a mother, seeing her child on screen was a proud and emotional moment, a testament to the power of family and the cycle of life. Riddhima's journey is a beautiful blend of personal growth, family legacy, and the evolving role of women in the industry.
