Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's earlier statement

Earlier in 2025 Riddhima spoke about her relationship with her brother Ranbir Kapoor during a conversation with Hindustan Times. She described their bond as grounded and genuine despite their upbringing in a film family.

She said, "Ranbir and I have always had a very normal sibling relationship despite growing up in a famous family. At home, we were just like any other brother and sister teasing, fighting, covering up for each other sometimes- off course, there were times we’d keep little secrets from our parents but nothing major. We’ve always been fiercely protective of each other, and that’s never changed."

Reflecting on their father’s loss, she added, "Losing Papa brought us even closer. Our bond has always been strong, but now it’s deeper." She also called Ranbir her “biggest cheerleader.”

Final goodbye during difficult times

Rishi Kapoor’s death came during the first wave of COVID-19 in India. Strict restrictions were in place across the country. Because of this, only close family members present in Mumbai could attend his last rites. At the funeral, his wife Neetu Kapoor and son Ranbir Kapoor were present to bid him farewell. Alia Bhatt, now married to Ranbir, also stood by the family during that difficult time.

Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor has the most awaited Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' opposite Sai Pallavi in the pipeline, where he portrays lord Rama.
