Riddhima Kapoor Sahni made her screen debut with ‘Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives’, which also features Maheep KapoorBhavana Pandey, Seema Sajdeh, Shalini Passi and Kalyani Saha Chawla. In one of the episodes on the show, Riddhima had confessed that she had a crush on Sanjay Kapoor when she was a little girl. At that point in time, she used to call her uncle and would hide behind the sofa and blush every time he came home. Sanjay’s wife Maheep was shocked to hear this as she said, ‘You had a crush on Sanjay and not Chunky?”
She further felt that it was really cute and sweet, further adding, “Riddhima has great taste in men.” Maheep immediately asked Riddhima what she calls Sanjay now and she added, “Don’t you dare call me aunty. I will beat the sh*t out of you!”
This was a playful banter between Maheep and Riddhima where she called her aunty. However, in a recent interview, Riddhima revealed that she faced a lot of backlash for it. “If someone is writing seriously that Kalyani (Saha Chawla), you know, you are looking old—that’s a serious comment. But when somebody’s pulling a friend’s leg, like I did with Maheep, it’s different. Maheep and Sanjay were actually originally my chacha’s friends, right? So if I had called her aunty, it was all in fun. Friends don’t do that? They pull each other’s leg, no? But people were like, ‘No, why are you calling Maheep aunty?’ Arrey bhai, have you never joked with your friends? That’s so stupid. Main toh muh pe bolti hu and Maheep tells me, ‘I’ll whack you.”
Meanwhile, Riddhima’s husband Bharat also had reacted to Riddhima having a crush on Sanjay as he said that her taste in men has gotten better with age.
In one of the episodes, Riddhima had also spoken about how she deals with trolling and reacted to the trolling that her brother Ranbir Kapoor and sister-in-law Alia Bhatt get.
