In an interview with Galatta India, Riddhima opened up about her experience after her father’s passing. She disclosed that she stayed with her mother, Neetu Kapoor, for a few months following the loss. Despite their efforts to maintain a facade of normalcy, they often found solace in tears within the privacy of their rooms. Riddhima also mentioned that Ranbir and Alia visited them every day during this period, offering invaluable support to the family.
She said, “We both were shattered. Ranbir and Alia used to come every single day. They both were amazing but when they would leave I would think of ways to make my mother happy and I would invite all my cousins just to pass the time so that she is happy.”
When questioned about Ranbir’s apparent reticence regarding his father’s passing, Riddhima suggested that he may have confided in Alia about his feelings.
“She was a great support. She has been there at a bad time and she has been a part of it. Ranbir doesn’t talk about his feelings, he doesn’t emote much off-screen. It was a difficult time,” said Riddhima.
Riddhima spoke highly of Alia, describing her as kind and loving. She highlighted Alia’s generosity, noting that it makes her an excellent match for her brother. She said:
“She is a lovely girl. She is extremely loving and very kind and the best thing about her is that she is very giving. My brother has lucked out with her. Even she is very lucky.” Riddhima’s husband Bharat Sahni also also praised Alia. He said, “I love her vibe. She is very chilled out. No politics, she doesn’t like to gossip. So, a lot of similarities.” Riddhima agreed with him.
