Bharat Sahni, Riddhima Kapoor’s husband, has spent over two decades running his family’s clothing export business, Wearwell, into an international success story.
While the Kapoor family is known for its long-standing dominance in Indian cinema, one member has built a legacy far from film sets and red carpets.
Bharat Sahni, Riddhima Kapoor’s husband, has spent over two decades leading his family’s apparel export business Wearwell into an international success story. With clients including Zara, Mango and Marks & Spencer and an annual turnover of over Rs 250 crore, Sahni’s achievements show that the influence in the Kapoor circle is not limited to the entertainment industry.
Bharat Sahni: The business mind in the Kapoor family
The Kapoor surname is instantly associated with Indian cinema, but not every member is a part of the entertainment industry. One such example is Bharat Sahni, who joined the family after marrying Riddhima Kapoor in 2006. While his in-laws have dominated Bollywood for generations, Sahni has built his reputation in the corporate world as a successful businessman.
Early life and education
Raised in Delhi, Sahni studied at Vasant Vihar Modern School, one of the capital’s most prestigious institutions. His education later took him abroad – first to St. Mary’s College of California, where he pursued finance and marketing, and then to Ohio State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration. This international exposure shaped his approach to business, giving him a perspective that would later set him apart in a competitive industry.
Leadership Wearwell
In 2002, Sahni joined his family’s apparel export business, Wearwell. As managing director, he focused on improving the branding, merchandising and operational systems, transforming the company into a strong player in the global apparel market. Today, Wearwell produces over half a million pieces every month and works with well-known brands such as Marks & Spencer, Zara, Mango and Forever 21, specializing in women’s and children’s wear, the company exports mainly to Europe, North America and Canada. With an annual turnover of around Rs 252-253 crore, Wearwell has become one of India’s leading apparel exporters under Sahni’s leadership.
Personal life
Sahi’s marriage to Riddhima Kapoor brought him into one of India’s most famous film families. Their Delhi home reflects understated luxury with modern interiors and an in-house gym, which Riddhima is often seen sharing on social media. He shares a warm relationship with his in-laws, including Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, and balances family ties in the public eye with a low-profile business life.
Fitness and lifestyle
Outside of work, Sahni is known for his focus on health and discipline. His social media posts often highlight workout routines and wellness tips, suggesting that he values personal fitness as much as professional growth. His lifestyle includes high-end cars, premium real estate, and frequent travel, though without excessive displays of wealth.
