Internet reacts

Internet was quick to react to the poster and several users questioned why Alia Bhatt—married to Ranbir Kapoor—wasn’t featured. One user wrote, “Where is Alia Bhatt? She’s a Kapoor now.” Another added, “If Neetu Kapoor is in there, shouldn’t Alia be too?” Some even noted that Saif Ali Khan was tagged in the caption, asking why Alia wasn’t.

Besides Alia’s absence, the show’s promotional poster also faced criticism for what many called “poor editing.” A user commented, “Why couldn’t this image be well edited? Looks like someone just copy pasted the figurines!!"

Some users also asked why Navya and Aghastya Nanda were in the frame, “Why are the nanda’s in this show.?”

Directed and written by Smriti Mundhra and created by Armaan Jain, Dining With The Kapoors is produced by Aavashyak Media. According to the makers, the show is filmed in a documentary-style format, offering an “unfiltered glimpse into the laughter, affectionate teasing, and timeless bonds of Bollywood’s first family.”

Creator Armaan Jain told Netflix, “Bringing the Kapoor khandan together around the table felt like unlocking generations of stories — the laughter, the chaos, the endless food, and of course, the banter that’s basically in our DNA. Dining with the Kapoors, is my way of honouring Nanaji (Raj Kapoor) and celebrating the timeless bond that continues to hold us together. There could have been no better partner than Netflix to bring this story to life and share it with audiences across the globe. Produced by my company, Aavashyak Media, this project is a heartfelt ode to family, film, and the memories that shape us.”
