Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and her daughter Samara Sahni recently went through a frightening experience during a flight.
Riddhima shared the ordeal on her Instagram Stories, detailing the incident in a heartfelt note. She explained that as their plane landed, it unexpectedly lifted back into the sky, leaving both of them terrified.
She wrote, “Today, my daughter and I experienced a moment I’ll never forget. Our plane touched down, and then suddenly lifted back into the sky. For those few seconds, both of our hearts stopped.”
Although fear gripped her, Riddhima resolved to remain strong for Samara, who was looking at her with apprehension. “I held her hand so tightly as she looked at me with fear in her eyes, and all I could do was stay strong for her while silently trying to steady my own breath,” she added.
While both mother and daughter are safe now, the unsettling experience has deeply affected Riddhima. “We were traumatised for a moment, but we’re safe and that’s all that truly matters. Experiences like this shake you, but they also remind you how fragile and precious life is,” she concluded her post, including a folded hands emoji.
Looking ahead, Riddhima will feature in the upcoming streaming special “Dining with the Kapoors,” which celebrates the centenary of Bollywood legend Raj Kapoor. The show brings together the Kapoors, the first film dynasty of Hindi cinema.
Featuring notable family members like Randhir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Rima Jain, Ranbir Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, and Aadar Jain, this one-hour special has been created by Armaan Jain and directed by Smriti Mundhra.
“Dining with the Kapoors” is set to premiere on Netflix on November 21.
