Riddhima denies Ranbir-Deepika relationship(pg3)

Days after Ranbir Kaboor reportedly criticised Deepika's dress sense in public and mother Neetu Singh passed her off as just a friend, it's now the hero's sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, who refuses to acknowledge the couple. "Ranbir and Deepika are young, talented people and are quite poised and charming," says Riddhima.

When questioned about whether she accepts the two as more than friends, Riddhima's first reaction was to avoid the question. On being prodded, she relents and says, "They make a good on-screen pair and their chemistry is fine." But what about their off-screen romance? "I've never seen them together in that sense, so I don't go by the media reports. Moreover, I stay in Delhi and don't want to comment on this. However, if Ranbir chooses to do something, we're with him. He's very hard-working and wants to concentrate on his work," she replies.
Riddhima's also all praise for cousin Kareena Kapoor, the current rage in Bollywood. "She's brilliant. The Kapoors never went anywhere ' it's just the younger generation, including Kareena and Ranbir, who's making it big in the industry and taking the lineage forward," she says.

Riddhima, who designs clothes and was recently appointed brand ambassador for a national chain of skin care clinics, however, is determined to stay away from Bollywood. "I'm very happy about my mother making a comeback. As far as I'm concerned, I would never consider making an appearance even if it's a home production. I will not be doing films," confirms Riddhima.

I am glad that Riddhima is not one of those relatives who grabs every chance to talk about their son's/brother's girl friend so that their son and them get some media footage. 😛

Now that Deepika and Ranbir are doing movies with different actors, they surely need to play down their private life.

i understand that Kapoor family is supposedly not thinking about their baby Ranbir getting married and all, but at least acknoledge the woman who is obviously in his life.

Ranbir needs to have family get together with the WHOLE kapoor khandaan..and explain them once in for all that Deepioa and he are dating, not just Co-stars😳
