Alia’s Social Media Love Explosion
The moment the official title poster of Daadi Ki Shaadi dropped, Alia was the first to amplify it. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she shared the poster with a joyful “Wohooo!” — tagging mother-in-law Neetu Kapoor and sister-in-law Riddhima, adding a burst of dizzy and rainbow emojis to match her excitement. Fans flooded the comments, gushing over her warmth and describing her as the ideal bhabhi (sister-in-law) Bollywood didn’t know it needed.
The Star-Studded Screening That Felt Like a Family Celebration
On May 6, Alia and Ranbir Kapoor arrived at the special screening of Daadi Ki Shaadi walking hand-in-hand — and the internet immediately melted.
Ranbir kept it casual and stylish in a blue T-shirt, light joggers, and white sneakers. Alia was every bit the elegant star in a loose black co-ord set with a flowy shirt, wide-legged pants, pointed heels, and a mini black handbag. The couple posed for the paparazzi, radiated warmth, and made the whole evening feel less like a film screening and more like a proud family reunion.
The event also saw veteran actress Rekha in attendance, alongside Ranbir’s aunt Rima Jain — turning it into a true Bollywood gathering

Two Milestones, One Film
Daadi Ki Shaadi carries double significance for the Kapoor family. It marks Neetu Kapoor’s comeback as a leading lady in Bollywood — a massive moment for one of Hindi cinema’s most beloved veterans. And it marks Riddhima Kapoor Sahni’s Bollywood debut, making this a generational milestone for the iconic Kapoor clan.
Riddhima, who had previously appeared in Fabulous Lives vs. Bollywood Wives, reflected on the 52-day shoot: “Firsts are always special because they form the blueprint of learnings we carry for the rest of our lives. We plotted, we danced, we laugh-cried.”
Her biggest acting tip came from brother Ranbir himself, who told her before she started: “Stay honest in front of the camera. Trust your instincts and live the character rather than perform it.”
As documented on the Kapoor family’s storied Bollywood legacy via Wikipedia, the clan has been at the heart of Hindi cinema for generations — and Daadi Ki Shaadi adds yet another chapter.
