As the daughter of one of India’s most famous actor couples and the sister of the latest generation’s hottest actor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni has generated a plethora of interest among the general public for her wellness and fitness content, family-oriented posts, uniquely elegant personal style, and relation to her well-known family members.

Sahni is the daughter of Neetu Singh, a model and actress, and Rishi Kapoor, an actor and director. Sahni grew up in a star-studded household to be sure, but she’s not the only one of her parents’ children who grew up to thrive in the spotlight. Sahni’s younger brother, Ranbir Kapoor has been one of India’s most successful actors since his debut and has received numerous high-profile accolades throughout his career. Kapoor also notably married actress Alia Bhatt in 2022, who has since become extremely close with her in-laws and extended family.

 

At 43, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni has built a career around her public persona and is one of India’s most well-known influencers in terms of both her domestic audience as well as her international reach. With well over 1 million followers, Sahni frequently engages fans and casual viewers alike with glimpses into her daily yoga and meditation routines, previews of her latest collections for her jewelry brand, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni Jewelry, and frequent appearances at some of society’s biggest events.

Sahni tied the knot with her current husband, Bharat Sahni, in 2006 in a grand ceremony, and the two have been happily married ever since. Sahni's husband, an entrepreneur at a major textile company owned by his family in New Delhi, and their daughter, 11-year-old Samara Sahni, are often featured on her Instagram page in sweet family photos and relatable skits akin to the content generated by some of the United States' favorite family-oriented influencers. 

 
 

Lately, the influencer has caught the eyes of the world after she was invited to one of the biggest nuptial events of the year—the Ambani wedding. As a member of a similarly influential family, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni’s attendance comes as no surprise to those on top of the Indian socialite and celebrity scene. As the wedding progresses over the span of July 12 to July 14, Sahni is sure to sport numerous stunning looks, but given the high-profile scale of the wedding, fans likely won't receive a glimpse of her looks until the buzz surrounding the celebration has slowed down a bit.

For women across the world, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni has emerged as a style icon. Gracing the front rows of runway shows in India, the red carpets of the country's biggest premieres, and the guest lists of major weddings and events, Sahni sports elegant, timeless styles that range from everyday casual looks to ultra-formal wedding guest sarees and lehengas. 

Sahni is also known for her top-tier glam looks, as she frequently sports radiant makeup styles and voluminous blowout hairstyles, and is often at the forefront of Indian beauty and fashion trends. 

While Sahni's high-profile status alone is reason enough for the general population to stay tuned to her social media page, followers keep coming back for the influencer's effortlessly chic styles, graceful fashion sense, and charming public persona, resulting in the true cementing of Sahni as an icon in Indian pop culture.
