Riddhima Kapoor clarified Samara Sahni’s viral ‘nanny push’ video—the ‘blue steel’ look was the real reason.
How did the video go viral?
Earlier this year, Riddhima Kapoor and her 14-year-old daughter, Samara Sahni, attended an event in Mumbai.
As they began posing for a wrap-up reporter, their grandmother, Neetu Kapoor, also appeared on camera.
A clip appeared to show Samara pushing Neetu, sparking an immediate debate online.
Farah Khan’s Question
A few days later, filmmaker Farah Khan arrived at Riddhima’s home and asked Samara about the viral video.
However, Riddhima jumped in to defend her daughter.
She claimed that Samara wasn’t angry, but was simply striking her trademark ‘blue steel’ pose.
Reason for the ‘Blue Steel’ Look
Riddhima explained, “Samara’s expression is her style.
As soon as she sees the camera, she makes a sharp face—like film couples do.
I told her that her face shows anger, but she was just posing.”
Comfortable Pose
The mother said that as soon as Samara extended her hand, people mistook her for a push.
“She was trying to strike a comfortable pose by extending her hand a little, not trying to push her grandmother away.”
Riddhima clarified that there was no confrontation or anger.
Media Reaction
Some people on social media defended Samara, while others raised questions.
Riddhima told Hindustan Times, “All this drama was blown out of proportion. The pointless story made my daughter uncomfortable.”
Family Lessons
This viral incident reminded the Kapoor family that cameras can magnify even small moments.
Neetu Kapoor quietly emerged in her own style, but the family collectively took on the responsibility of managing media perception.
Samara’s Filmy Intentions
Reports suggest that Samara is also considering entering the film industry.
She is currently completing her studies, but this small incident has already introduced her to the challenges of media handling and public instant fame.
The Journey Ahead
Now that Samara’s ‘blue steel’ pose has become an internet sensation, it remains to be seen whether she will deliberately display the same style or create a new expression the next time she appears in front of the cameras.
This experience has also prepared father Ranbir Kapoor’s family for their return to the bright media spotlight.
