Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives: Riddhima Kapoor Sahni Addresses Backlash Over 'Aunty' Comment On Maheep
'Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives' fame Riddhima Kapoor Sahni opened up about the trolling she faced for calling Maheep "aunty" on the show.
New Delhi: Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, daughter of late Rishi Kapoor and sister to Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, has addressed the online backlash she received after her lighthearted comment on the third season of 'Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives'. Featuring Riddhima's encounters with the stunning ladies of Bollywood, such as Maheep Kapoor, the hit Netflix series exposed new Delhi-based characters to Mumbai's elite social circle.
After fans misunderstood Riddhima's amusing reference to Maheep as "Aunty" in one episode, she was subjected to a storm of online harassment. While addressing the matter in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Riddhima said that the remark was meant to be humorous.
She explained, “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.”
She added, “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.’"
Riddhima also had a light-hearted confession about her crush on Sanjay Kapoor from when she was younger, which led to a light-hearted exchange with Maheep Kapoor (Sanjay Kapoor’s wife) in one episode. Riddhima gushed that she used to call him uncle. Maheep Kapoor playfully cautioned, “Don’t you dare call me aunty. I will beat the sh*t out of you!"
