Mumbai is a city of dreams. Every day, aspiring actors come to the city to try their luck. While some become superstars, others fail to make an impact. However, the child we are talking about started her career at a young age and has never looked back. Although her journey seems easy today, she has faced many tough situations along the way. Now, this child actor is one of the richest child actors, with a net worth of Rs 8 crore. She has featured in various TV serials, films, and web series. If you are still wondering who we are talking about, the actor in question is Riva Arora.
Riva is one of the rising stars in the industry. She made her film debut with the 2019 release Uri: The Surgical Strike. Her performance was praised by people in the industry. Since then, Riva has taken on small roles in several films such as Bharat, Section 375, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, as well as web series like Bandish Bandits and TVF Tripling.
Riva’s age has become a mystery for all her fans. While her family claims she is 17 years old, several fans have dug up Riva’s old interviews from four years ago, where she was seen saying she was nine years old. If that is true, it would put Riva’s year of birth as 2010, making her 14 years old.
In an earlier interview with DNA, Riva addressed the controversies surrounding her age. She said, “What do I even say to that? I don’t have anything to say to people who are doubting my age or what I am doing. The people who are giving me love are enough for me.”
The controversy over Riva Arora’s age began in October 2022 when she posted a romantic video with Karan Kundra on her Instagram handle. Netizens were shocked to see the 38-year-old actor in a romantic video with 16-year-old Riva.
Many child welfare organizations urged Instagram to take strict action against the video. If reports are to be believed, Riva’s Instagram account was deleted following a complaint by the NCPCR (National Commission for Protection of Child Rights).
However, it was Riva’s mother who stepped in and apologized for the video. Following her apology, Riva’s Instagram account was reactivated.
As Riva’s age controversy embroiled, there were different reports as well that claimed that the actress has taken synthetic growth hormones. However, this was never accepted or declined by the actress.
