For those who don't know, Riddhima lives in Delhi and because of it she was not able to attend her father's funeral.

In a throwback interview with NDTV, Riddhima had talked about her childhood and how Rishi ji was as a father. She had revealed, "Papa used to play such fun games with my brother Ranbir and me! He had a sort of Koffee with Karan-type buzzer round where he'd ask 20 questions, and whoever replied first would be the winner. Ranbir and I now call this "Dinner with Daddy" - like Koffee with Karan! And despite his busy schedule, he'd see to it that every Sunday, he would take the family out for a meal - lunch or dinner. No matter how tired or exhausted he'd be from shooting, he'd never forget. Love you, papa."
