"It's been a team effort": Riddhima Kapoor on "positive response" towards her debut film Daadi Ki Shaadi
New Delhi, June 9
Riddhima Kapoor debuted in the Bollywood industry with the recently released film 'Daadi Ki Shaadi', which also featured her mother Neetu Kapoor in the lead role. The actress expressed her happiness on the positive response to the film post release.
'Daadi Ki Shaadi' is a 2026 Indian Hindi-language family comedy drama film, which is written and directed by Ashish R Mohan. It was released last month.
Reflecting on the positive response to her performance and the film's increasing viewership, Riddhima called the making of the film a "team effort".
Riddhima Kapoor said, "It's been just a couple of weeks. I am feeling good. We are getting a good response. Through word of mouth, the movie has been in theatres for the fourth week now. Everyone is congratulating. It's been a team effort."
The actress also revealed that she didn't get a "lot of time" to prepare for the role as she was approached by the makers just 3 weeks before the filming.
"To be honest, I didn't get too much time to feel or absorb that I am going to be in a film. I was sceptical at first, but then I thought to give it a try. I didn't have a lot of time to prepare, but I was really excited for my first film with my mother," added Riddhima Kapoor.
Earlier, the actress penned a long post, pouring out her heart on the emotions attached with the film and her character as 'Sunaina' in the film 'Daadi Ki Shaadi'.
"There are some characters you play... and then there are some characters that stay with you forever. Sunaina will always be one of them. Being a part of Daadi Ki Shaadi and bringing Sunaina to life has been one of the most beautiful and emotional journeys for me. The love, support and warmth you all have given her has truly touched my heart!" she wrote on Instagram.
Produced by Rtake Studios along with BeingU Studios and Shimla Talkies, 'Daadi Ki Shaadi' has been written and directed by Ashish R. Mohan.
The film featured a talented ensemble cast led by Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma, alongside Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Sarath Kumar, and Sadia Khateeb.
'Daadi Ki Shaadi' was released on May 8.

Kapil Sharma and Neetu Kapoor together? That's an interesting combo. But honestly, the title 'Daadi Ki Shaadi' had me skeptical at first. Good to know word of mouth is working. Fourth week in theatres is no joke these days! 👏
I saw the film last weekend with my family. Not gonna lie, I went in with low expectations but it was genuinely funny in parts. Neetu Ma'am still has that screen presence, and Riddhima held her own. For a debut, she did well. The team effort line is true—you can feel the chemistry.
The thing is, Bollywood keeps pushing nepotism. But if the film is good, the film is good. I'm just tired of star kids getting all the attention while outsiders struggle. That said, Riddhima seems down to earth and her Instagram post was really genuine. Let's see if she can sustain this.
"Didn't get much time to prepare" - that's concerning. But I'm glad it worked out. The movie has a good cast: Kapil Sharma, Sarath Kumar, Sadia Khateeb. Directors like Ashish R Mohan know how to make family comedies. Planning to catch it this weekend. 👍
Honestly, the fact that it's in its fourth week is surprising given the OTT boom. Good for them! I think the mother-daughter angle plus Kapil's comedy is a winning formula. Riddhima's debut deserves a watch. Chalo, family outing sorted! 🎬
