Riddhima Kapoor Sahni described her latest tattoo as “a prayer in writing.” Fine script on her inner forearm spells two names she uses for her parents.
The family nicknames in fresh forearm ink
She used “Mushk” for her mother, Neetu Kapoor, and “Kuks” for her father, the late Rishi Kapoor. The handwritten-style letters sit on the inner forearm, where the close-up makes both words easy to read.
In her caption, Riddhima wrote that she would want the same parents in every lifetime. The tattoo gives that thought a small, lasting place.
Moneycontrol’s photo pairs the close view with a heart shape made by Riddhima’s hands. It shows the words and their placement in the setting where she shared the reveal.
What the public reveal actually shows
Several outlets carried versions of the reveal, but some images are composites that repeat the same tattoo close-up beside a family photo or portrait. Those panels aren’t separate views of the ink. A separate IANS photo gives another angle.
Together, the images show the lettering and where it sits. They don’t provide a larger photo record than the sources actually published.
A second view of the Mushk and Kuks lettering
The IANS image comes from a formal occasion. Riddhima raises her arm, with the lettering visible near her hand. The wider frame shows the tattoo during another appearance, though the letters are smaller than in the close-up.
The light script sits beside her clothing and jewellery without dominating the frame. One photo makes the words easy to read; the other shows them in context.
Why the tribute is more personal than promotional
The tattoo uses her parents’ nicknames, words from family life. Riddhima’s caption explains why they matter to her; the memories attached to them remain personal.
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni beyond the reveal
An India Today portrait shifts the focus to Riddhima herself.
The portrait appeared with career coverage and gives a face-visible view of her. The tattoo isn’t clear enough in this image to support a claim about additional ink.
The professional story around the family tribute
Riddhima has built work beyond her family’s screen legacy, including a jewellery business. A Rotten Tomatoes portrait in the article comes from separate coverage of her screen career, rather than a tattoo feature.
That photo adds professional context. The close-up and IANS image remain the sources that document the forearm lettering.
From jewellery to screen work
She appeared on Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives and made her film debut in 2026. Coverage of the move has focused on ambition, family support and taking up screen work later in life.
Those details place the tattoo in the wider story of Riddhima’s life, without assigning it a career meaning she hasn’t stated.
The person at the center of it
Aaj Tak published a portrait of Riddhima in a blue gown. The tattoo isn’t clearly visible, so this image serves as a portrait, not as evidence of another design.
What is confirmed, and what remains unknown
Riddhima revealed two forearm tattoos with the nicknames “Mushk” and “Kuks,” which she connected to Neetu and Rishi Kapoor. She described the gesture as “a prayer in writing”; the close-up and IANS photograph show the lettering in different settings.
Public reports don’t name her tattoo artist or give the appointment date. They also don’t confirm whether she added other designs at the same time.
