During a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Armaan shared that Alia had work commitments that she could not miss out on. He opened up on the real reason, stating, “She had prior commitments to shoot. I might sound filmy, but like Raj Kapoor said, ‘work is worship.'”
About Dining With the Kapoors
This special show, Dining With the Kapoors, brings the entire clan together to honour the legendary Raj Kapoor on his 100th birth anniversary. The makers have noted that the show will blend emotion, humour and the unmistakable Kapoor charm. The gathering will feature Randhir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Rima Jain, Ranbir Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Aadar Jain, and more, a rare coming-together of Bollywood royalty under one roof.
It will premiere on November 21, 2025 on Netflix. The show will invite audiences to feast their eyes and hearts, on food, family and a celebration that honours a century of cinematic heritage.
Opening up about the show, director Smriti Mundhra said, “The Kapoors are not just a Bollywood dynasty, but the type of family we all want to be a part of: extremely tight, fun loving, and absolutely obsessed with food. What I wanted to capture wasn’t just their story on the surface, but that feeling of being right there at the table with them, hearing the stories, the laughter, the unfiltered moments that happen when the performance drops away. I’m grateful to Armaan Jain and the entire Kapoor clan for allowing me to be a small part of their legacy.”
