Jewellery designer Riddhima Kapoor Sahni has revealed that her whole family was trolled badly after the death of her father and legendary actor Rishi Kapoor. She said people used to judge them for making appearances in public after his death.

In an interview with Galatta India about Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives Season 3, Riddhima spoke about the criticism they faced whenever they seemed happy in photographs or public appearances after the death of Rishi.

Facing trolls

Riddhima shared that while the family was navigating the difficult journey of accepting the reality of his passing, they tried their best to look composed in public. She shared that their attempt to not show their grief in public was misunderstood, with many people assuming that they were not affected.

She reflected on the insensitivity of the trolls, she said, “People used to say to us, ‘Oh, they look so happy, and they are going out, and they are doing this.’ But you have to come home and see what happens.”

Talking about the accusations of privilege, Riddhima Kapoor said, "People say so and so are privileged, so and so have everything; not necessarily how do you know the insecurity the other person is facing?”

In the interview, she said that she has great admiration for her mother and actor Neetu Kapoor for the way she managed the situation.
