Neetu Kapoor recently appeared on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast along with her daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, for a Mother’s Day special. In the over 1-hour-long podcast, though, Kapoor managed to rain down some extremely interesting bits of information.
The thing that stood out the most, and brought along the most criticism as well, were her statements about therapy.
Her advice about leaning on four or five trusted friends instead of a therapist is a good advice, but only if you are Neetu Kapoor.
If you are someone with a support network consisting of your own industry circle, your celebrity daughter, your famous daughter-in-law, your industry peers, your social circle of fifty years, and also you are one of the most recognisable faces in Indian cinema — yes, perhaps friends do the trick.
The friends are plentiful. The friends pick up the phone. The friends show up. But suggesting this as a universal alternative to professional mental healthcare is like telling someone who is hungry to simply “order from a good restaurant.” Technically advice.
Practically useless for the person who cannot afford the restaurant, does not know where it is, or has a dietary restriction that means most restaurants cannot serve them at all.
This was not all she said; here are some other gems she uttered throughout the entire video.

Neetu Kapoor is a warm and resilient woman and a pretty good actor, who has faced genuine hardship and come through it with her grace largely intact. None of this is an attack on who she is or on the legitimacy of her grief.
But this just further proves that these celebrities are not always correct and can hold very misguided and wrong opinions as well.
It is important to keep this in mind, especially when understanding the kind of influence they enjoy over the regular commonfolk. And it is even more important then, that we keep these follies in mind when listening to them, applying our own critical thinking and research in order to vet if what they are saying is something to follow or not.
