Aamir Khan Praises Riddhima Kapoor’s Performance In 'Daadi Ki Shaadi'

Riddhima Kapoor Sahni is set to make her long-awaited Bollywood debut at the age of 45 with the upcoming film Daadi Ki Shaadi, and her performance has already earned praise from several members of the film industry, including actor Aamir Khan. The actor attended a special screening of the film in Mumbai and shared an enthusiastic reaction while interacting with paparazzi after the event.

During the media interaction, Aamir Khan lauded Riddhima’s acting and jokingly compared her performance to that of her younger brother, Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor. In a humorous remark that quickly went viral on social media, Aamir said that Riddhima had “acted better than Ranbir Kapoor” and added that he thoroughly enjoyed watching the film. He also congratulated the entire team behind the project and extended his best wishes for the film’s release.

The comment generated widespread online discussion, with fans of the Kapoor family reacting positively to the playful comparison between the siblings. Many users interpreted the remark as light-hearted banter and a generous compliment from one of the industry’s most respected actors. Videos of Aamir’s interaction with the media circulated rapidly across social media platforms, further increasing curiosity surrounding the film.

Riddhima Kapoor Sahni’s acting debut has attracted significant attention because she had largely remained away from the Hindi film industry despite belonging to one of Bollywood’s most influential film families. She is the daughter of legendary actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, and the sister of Ranbir Kapoor, who is among the leading stars of contemporary Hindi cinema. While several members of the Kapoor family pursued acting careers, Riddhima chose a different professional path and established herself as a successful entrepreneur and jewellery designer.

Over the years, Riddhima occasionally appeared alongside her family during public events and reality show appearances, but she never actively entered mainstream cinema. Her decision to debut as an actor at 45 has therefore surprised many fans and industry observers, especially at a time when Bollywood continues to see increasing conversations around unconventional career choices and late debuts.

The film Daadi Ki Shaadi has not only become notable for Riddhima’s entry into acting but also for the emotional significance attached to her cinematic journey. Many fans of the Kapoor family have expressed interest in seeing another member of the iconic film dynasty on screen, particularly after the deaths of veteran actors Rishi Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor in recent years.

The special screening in Mumbai reportedly witnessed the presence of several film personalities, adding to the buzz surrounding the movie ahead of its theatrical release. Although the makers have not revealed extensive details about the storyline, the early celebrity reactions have contributed to growing anticipation among audiences.

Industry analysts believe Riddhima’s debut could resonate strongly with viewers because of both nostalgia and curiosity. Her transition from entrepreneurship to acting also reflects the changing dynamics of the entertainment industry, where age is increasingly becoming less of a barrier for performers exploring new creative opportunities.
