However, Riddhima’s gesture didn’t sit well with everyone. One social media user questioned her intentions, writing, “If you helped, why did you mention it here… Do you want footage?” The comment attempted to undermine her sincerity, implying she was seeking publicity for her donation. Refusing to be provoked, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni gave a calm and graceful reply that quickly won hearts online. Responding to the troll, she wrote, “Life isn’t about showing off. Helping someone in need, and doing whatever you can, is the biggest blessing.”
