Being a grandparent is a blessing and an utterly special feeling. It is said that parents don’t enjoy their kids’ childhood as much as they enjoy their grandkids’ childhood. A child brings in the happiness and enthusiasm in his or her grandparents’ life and thus, they are blamed for spoiling the kids. The story telling sessions, the secret shopping sessions and fulfilling every wish and need of their grandchild becomes the only motto of every grandparent’s life. Late actor, Rishi Kapoor too loved his granddaughter, Samara with his whole heart and the feeling of love was mutual between them.

Riddhima has been mourning the loss of her father ever since that day and her IG handle depicts her pain as she often goes down the memory lane to remember Rishi ji.
