Alia Bhatt recently revealed that her sister-in-law, Riddhima Kapoor, holds the title of the biggest gossiper in the Kapoor family while also praising her as the “most entertaining” bua (aunt) to her daughter, Raha Kapoor. Alia, known for her strong bond with husband Ranbir Kapoor’s family, spoke highly of Riddhima in an interview with Galatta India. Alia has often shared glimpses of her close relationship with her in-laws, including a recent photo from a trip to Paris with her mother-in-law, veteran actor Neetu Kapoor.

During the interview, Alia said, “If there’s anyone who knows all the news, it’s Riddhima. She casually drops the biggest gossip bombs, which always turn out to be true. She’s way ahead of us, especially her brother, Ranbir.” However, Alia didn’t just talk about her gossip skills. She added, “But Riddhima is also the kindest, most loving, and generous person. She’s the most entertaining and fabulous bua to Raha, teaching her many things. Thanks to her, I’m singing ‘Uma Joshi ye ye ye’ about 20 times a day! I’m so grateful to have her in my life—not just as a sister-in-law but a true sister.”

In the same interview, Riddhima returned the compliment, describing how Alia has been a great addition to the Kapoor family. She noted that Alia makes a real effort to stay connected with everyone, something both Riddhima and Ranbir find challenging to do at times. Riddhima described their relationship as “organic,” saying it didn’t feel forced. She also shared that Alia and Ranbir’s one-year-old daughter, Raha, lovingly calls her “booha” while learning to say bua.
