“Bursting crackers is not only dated but grossly ignorant, inconsiderate and irresponsible. Stop doing it, it’s so 19-never,” she wrote.

Previously, Rhea requested brands not to approach her for Karwa Chauth collaborations and said that she and her husband, filmmaker Karan Boolani do not believe in the ritual.

“We respect other couples who partake and can even enjoy the festivities while they do. It’s just not for me. Or us. So the last thing I want to do is promote something I don’t believe in and don’t really agree with the spirit it comes from,” she posted on her Instagram.

Rhea made her debut as a producer in 2010 with Rajshree Ojha’s ‘Aisha’. The film starred her sister Sonam Kapoor in the titular role. Her next production was ‘Khoobsurat’ (2014) and ‘Veere Di Wedding’ (2018).

The low-key wedding took place at her father Anil Kapoor’s bungalow and was attended by family members and a few close friends.
