Kapoor Family Honors Rishi with Heartwarming AI Photo
Last year, on the birth anniversary of the legendary Rishi Kapoor, his family shared a unique and touching tribute. An AI-generated photograph depicting the late actor holding his granddaughter, Raha, captured the hearts of many, leading to an outpouring of emotional reactions about a moment that could never be.
Emotional Tributes from Family
The poignant image was shared by Neetu Kapoor with the heartfelt caption, 'what could have been.' The sentiment resonated deeply, as Raha was born after her grandfather's passing. The family has often noted a striking resemblance between them. Actress Alia Bhatt had previously mentioned on Karan Johar's popular chat show how much her daughter looks like Rishi Kapoor.
Echoing this feeling, Rishi's daughter, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, also shared an emotional post. She lovingly referred to Raha as a 'mini Rishi,' expressing a profound wish that her father could have been present to celebrate with both of his granddaughters, Raha and Samara.

In a moving tribute on social media, Riddhima poured out her feelings in a caption that read: “Happy Birthday Papa❤️ How I wish u were here celebrating your special day with both your grand daughters. Your 'bandari' Sam is all grown up and baby Raha is the cutest- She is a mini you. Papa I will always cherish the memories we got to share. We miss you so much, and our love for you only deepens with each passing day❤️.”
