"Riddhima grew up knowing that if she ever told her father she wanted to be an actress, he'd kill himself," revealed and added, "She is a wonderfully talented and beautiful girl. She's a fabulous mimic and would have given any actress a run for her money. But even as a child, she knew how much it would upset her father if she decided to become an actress.
