In a major announcement that has thrilled fans of the Kapoor family legacy, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, daughter of late legendary actor Rishi Kapoor and actress Neetu Kapoor, has officially confirmed that she is stepping into the world of cinema. In an exclusive statement, Riddhima revealed that she is currently shooting for her debut film, marking her long-anticipated entry into Bollywood.
The fashion designer and entrepreneur, who has so far kept a low profile in terms of acting, surprised many by choosing to take the plunge into films. While she didn’t disclose many plot details about the project, Riddhima confirmed that filming is underway and shared her excitement about this new journey. “Yes, it’s true — I’m making my film debut, and we’ve already begun shooting,” she said. “We’re filming in Delhi, and it’s been such a surreal experience so far.”
Riddhima, known for her elegance and grace, added that while acting was never her initial career plan, the opportunity came along at the right time and felt “meant to be.” She expressed her gratitude for the team involved in the project and said she’s learning a lot on set. “It’s a completely different world from fashion, but there’s so much creativity involved here too. I’m enjoying every moment,” she added.
The film, whose title is still under wraps, is believed to feature Riddhima in a significant role — one that blends elements of drama and realism. Sources close to the production say the storyline explores relationships and personal transformation, and Riddhima’s character plays a pivotal part in that narrative arc.
The debut is particularly special because it adds another star to the illustrious Kapoor lineage — a family that has contributed some of the most iconic names to Indian cinema over the decades. With brother Ranbir Kapoor being one of today’s top actors and mother Neetu Kapoor returning to the screen recently, Riddhima’s entry feels like a natural continuation of the family tradition, albeit in her own distinct style.
Fans and industry insiders alike have expressed excitement over Riddhima’s decision to join the film industry. Many are eager to see how her off-screen sophistication translates into on-screen presence. Social media has already begun buzzing with curiosity and anticipation as behind-the-scenes snippets and photos from the Delhi shoot begin to surface.
While more details about the film are expected to be announced soon, one thing is certain — Riddhima Kapoor Sahni’s debut is one of the most awaited events in the world of Hindi cinema this year. As she embarks on this exciting new path, audiences are keen to see her carve out a niche of her own in an industry where her family name already shines bright.
