 "When Neetu Kapoor revealed Rishi Kapoor would have ‘killed himself’ if daughter Riddhima talked about becoming an actress: 'He doesn’t think badly of actresses or...'")
Rishi Kapoor-Neetu Kapoor’s daughter & Ranbir Kapoor’s sist Riddhima Kapoor Sahni recently made her screen debut with Karan Johar & Netflix’s Netflix’s Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives.
Despite belonging to the first family of Bollywood and having access to showbiz, Riddhima never showed interest in being an actress because it would have made her father upset, revealed Neetu Kapoor.
In Rishi Kapoor’s autobiography ‘Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored’, Neetu spoke about Riddhima’s decision and said, “Riddhima grew up knowing that if she ever told her father she wanted to be an actress, he’d kill himself.”
“She is a wonderfully talented and beautiful girl. She’s a fabulous mimic and would have given any actress a run for her money. But even as a child, she knew how much it would upset her father if she decided to become an actress. He doesn’t think badly of actresses or feel that girls shouldn’t work in movies. But he’s zealously overprotective of his wife and children. Riddhima understood her father well. For the sake of his peace of mind, she never attempted to pursue acting as a career. Instead she said, ‘I want to design clothes,’ and Bob (Rishi) happily sent her to London to study,” Neetu shared.
The Jugjugg Jeeyo star, who quit industry at the age of 21 said that Rishi Kapoor was scared of the “ugly side of stardom” and didn’t want to his daughter to get in tabloid mess, which focuses on personal lives and love affairs. “This ugly side of stardom scared my husband and he didn’t want to see his daughter entangled in that mess. It was something that worried him all through her growing-up years until she got married to Bharat. Once she settled down, Bob was a much-relieved man and his relationship with Riddhima grew stronger and more open.” Neetu said.
