Social media personality and entrepreneur Riddhima Kapoor Sahni has finally addressed the recent media reports surrounding her teenage daughter, Samara, which surfaced after a video from a family wedding went viral online.

Riddhima Kapoor Sahni On Samara's Viral Video:

The incident took place during the wedding of Riddhima's cousin, actor Aadar Jain, and entrepreneur Alekha Advani in Mumbai on Friday. In the video, Riddhima, Samara, and her maternal grandmother, actor Neetu Kapoor, appeared on the red carpet together. In the clip, Samara momentarily gestures away from her grandmother, leading to speculation that she was upset and had pushed Neetu aside.

"The Poor Child Was Only Trying To Pose..."

Refuting the reports, Riddhima said, "The whole thing got blown out of proportion. The poor child was only trying to pose. She wasn't upset. She was very excited, so much so that in the car she kept saying that, ‘Oh my God, I'm sure there are gonna be photographers and I'm gonna pose like this and that'. And because the paparazzi were asking us to come together, she just wanted to pose on her own. She didn't push her nani."

Riddhima also shared that Samara herself was confused by the online chatter. "She was like ‘when did I push her? I was trying to pose myself. I was just trying to extend my arm and get comfortable. I was posing. I never pushed anyone'."

Reflecting on a previous incident where her goofy behaviour at the airport caused some backlash, Riddhima tells us that Samara had pointed out to her, "'The last time I was being goofy then also they had a problem and now when I'm not doing anything they again have a problem!,'” adding, “Kids these days are more aware about all these things. There's so much exposure. However, my mother and I chat with her (Samara) every single day about it — the pros, cons, good, bad, ugly, so that it doesn't affect her."
