During a discussion with Siddharth Kannan on YouTube, Riddhima shared experiences in the wake of Rishi Kapoor’s death, revealing that while the family refrained from openly displaying their sorrow, the situation ultimately brought them closer together. “We would separate to grieve, then come back and act as if everything was normal. This experience drew us even more closely,” she recounted.
