After winning hearts with her reality web debut last year, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni is ready to shine on the big screen - and she's doing it with her mother, Neetu Kapoor , right beside her. The duo recently completed shooting for Riddhima’s first feature film in the serene hills of Mashobra near Shimla, making the project not just special, but deeply personal.
The mother-daughter duo recently wrapped up a 40-day shoot in the picturesque town of Mashobra near Shimla - a journey that Riddhima calls one of the most emotional and fulfilling chapters of her life.
A Film, A Bond, A Home Under One Roof
Shooting for her debut film was an emotional experience. “Mom and I live in different cities. But during the shoot, we lived under the same roof for over a month. We’d start our mornings with chai and breakfast, go to set together. It was an emotional and joyful time. The last time we spent this much uninterrupted time together was when my daughter Samara was born. Even though we live apart, we’re in touch every day,” shares Riddhima.
Brotherly Advice and Dad’s Memories
Taking her first steps into the film world, Riddhima leaned on her brother, Ranbir Kapoor, for support. “Ranbir was really excited when he found out I was doing a film,” she says. “I’d send him photos of my looks and clips from scenes, just to get his opinion. It also made me remember some of the stories that dad ( Rishi Kapoor ) would tell us about his own time on set. For me, my mom’s opinion matters the most. Her word is final.”
But when it comes to final judgments, there’s only one voice that matters to Riddhima: “For me, Mom’s opinion is everything. Her word is final.”
A Scene That Shattered Walls
While the film remains untitled, its emotional depth is already leaving its mark. One powerful scene shared by Riddhima and Neetu was so intense, it broke through Riddhima’s usually composed exterior.
“I can’t reveal our characters just yet, but the film is a roller coaster of emotions. There’s one scene in particular that really moved me. I’m not someone who cries easily or publicly. When something hurts, I usually retreat, cry in private and come back composed. The last time I cried openly was when dad passed away. But this scene - without any glycerine - just broke me. The emotions were so real, and my mom was shaken seeing me like that,”
The film, also starring Kapil Sharma and Sadia Khateeb, promises an emotional ride that mirrors the personal growth Riddhima experienced while working on it.
From family breakfasts to heartfelt breakdowns on camera, this debut is not just a professional milestone - it’s a deeply personal story of love, legacy, and coming full circle.
