Riddhima Kapoor Sahni
After her marriage.During a recent conversation with Soha Ali Khan, Neetu spoke about how parents have to step back once their children get married.“I feel that once your children get married, you have to leave them alone. I live in the same building as my children, but I don’t go there when I want. I want to give them their own space,” she said.“I don’t want them to feel like their mother is always sitting there. Their privacy is their privacy.”
I don’t interfere. Even Raha comes to me whenever she is free; “I don’t go there without warning,” Neetu added, referring to Raha Kapoor, Ranbir and Alia’s daughter.
Neetu recalls advising Rishi Kapoor after Riddhima’s wedding
Neetu Kapoor also revealed that she often reminds Rishi Kapoor not to contact Riddhima frequently after her marriage.“When Riddhima got married, I used to tell Rishi ji not to call her every day. Now Riddhima is married, Bharat is there too, you can’t keep calling her all the time,” I said.
Let it be. You have to step back a little. He used to say: “I call her when I want, and I call Bharat too.” I was telling him: What are you doing? It’s okay to call them sometimes, but don’t call them all the time. They also have a life that does not stay on top of them all the time.
