Riddhima Kapoor Sahni Reacts to Viral Video of Daughter Samara and Neetu Kapoor, Calls It a Misunderstanding

Ranbir Kapoor’s sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, has finally addressed the viral video of her daughter, Samara, and her mother, Neetu Kapoor, from the wedding celebrations of Aadar Jain and Alekha Advani.

The clip, captured during Aadar Jain’s wedding in Mumbai on February 21, shows Riddhima, Samara, and Neetu posing for photographs. Samara’s serious expression and a hand gesture when Neetu Kapoor joined them sparked online discussions. Many speculated that Samara had pushed her grandmother, leading to a wave of controversy on social media.

Riddhima has now put an end to these claims, clarifying that the situation was completely misunderstood. According to TOI, she explained that Samara was simply eager to pose for the photographers and had no intention of pushing her grandmother.

The poor child was only trying to pose. She wasn’t upset. She was very excited, so much so that in the car she kept saying, ‘Oh my God, I’m sure there are gonna be photographers, and I’m gonna pose like this and that.

She further shared that Samara was confused by the online speculation, as she was only focusing on her pose. This isn’t the first time the little girl has faced such scrutiny. Riddhima recalled a past incident where Samara was criticised for her playful behaviour at the airport. “The last time I was being goofy, they had a problem, and now when I’m not doing anything, they again have a problem!” Samara had told her mother.

Riddhima, who appeared on Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, also highlighted how the family guides Samara in handling media attention. “Kids these days are more aware of all these things. There’s so much exposure. However, my mother and I chat with her every single day about it—the pros, cons, good, bad, ugly—so that it doesn’t affect her,” she concluded.

The Kapoor family has now put the matter to rest, calling the entire incident an overreaction on social media.
