Apart from being a sharp businessman, Bharat is also a fitness enthusiast who values physical fitness. We often see Bharat sweating it out in the gym, and he loves posting pictures of himself doing so on his social media handles. In 2019, he won Global Spa Magazine’s Fit and Fab Festival Award.
Bharat Sahni’s wife, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni is the elder daughter of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. Ranbir Kapoor is her younger brother and Alia Bhatt is her bhabhi. Riddhima shares a warm bond with her cousins, Kareena Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor and often parties with them. Riddhima is a fashion and jewellery designer by profession.
Just like her husband, Riddhima too is a fitness freak and often posts glimpses of her practising yoga with her mother, Neetu Kapoor. Riddhima is very disciplined when it comes to food habits and never indulges in sweets or junk food. Riddhima has always stayed away from the glamour world despite her entire family being in the business. However, the gorgeous Kapoor daughter will mark her big debut with Karan Johar’s Netflix reality series, Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives season 3.
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni met Bharat Sahni while studying in London. They knew each other and dated for three years. When she came back to Mumbai, her father, Rishi Kapoor, asked Riddhima to give another year to her relationship to see whether she felt the same way about Bharat. As per a report in DNA, Neetu Kapoor revealed that Bharat and Riddhima dated for another year after coming back to India and then decided to begin their forever journey.

Bharat Sahni and Riddhima Kapoor’s engagement was an impromptu affair. Speaking to journalist, Indu Mirani about the ceremony, Neetu Kapoor recalled:
“The way Riddhima and Bharat got engaged is so reminiscent of the way Rishi and I did. He wanted me to complete my films before anything formal was done. On a trip to Delhi, his sister Ritu insisted that we get engaged. We did, after borrowing rings. It was a hurried affair, totally unexpected.”
Further in the interview, Neetu Kapoor revealed how Riddhima and Bharat’s engagement too was similar to her and Rishi Kapoor’s. In her words:
“Similarly, I knew Riddhima and Bharat were going around. Although I liked Bharat very much, nothing formal was said for quite some time. We were in Delhi for another occasion when my mother-in-law spoke to Bharat’s mom Indu. Before we knew it, the engagement had been arranged.”
Riddhima Kapoor and Bharat Sahni began their happily-ever-after journey after tying the knot on January 25, 2006. The couple hopped on to parenthood on March 23, 2011, and welcomed their baby girl, Samara Sahni.
Bharat Sahni is a doting husband and son-in-law, who has always stood like a rock for Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. And now, as she is all set to make her big debut on screen, the celeb husband couldn’t stop rooting for her.
