Ripci Bhatia. Born November 18, 1989, straight outta New Delhi, repping a Sikh fam. Dad’s hustling in business, mom’s running the house, and she’s got siblings on both sides—Sahib (the big bro) and Mandeep (the doc, living her best life in the US, not even kidding).
School days? BGS International Public School in Delhi. Then she went artsy and did her thing at JD Institute of Fashion Technology. Honestly, she’s been about that creative life since forever—painting, calligraphy, all that jazz. Kinda makes sense she dove straight into fashion.
So, in 2012, she launched her label: Amour Faith Hope. She’s not just the boss, she’s the creative brains, too. Her stuff’s been all over—Delhi runways, London, Singapore, even Jersey (the American one, not the cow). Her vibe? Modern, artsy, not your basic desi couture. People in Delhi’s fashion circles know what’s up. She’s even shouted out Manish Malhotra as one of her big influences (I mean, who hasn’t?).
Physical stats, if you’re into that: she’s about 5’4″, 62kg-ish, classic hourglass—34-24-3y. Age? Do the math—she’s 35 now, give or take, depending on when you’re reading this.
Personal life? Oh, drama and romance alert. She married Sharad Malhotra (TV’s favourite heartthrob) in 2019. It was a whole Bollywood-level situation: Sikh and Hindu ceremonies, Mumbai, the works. They slid into each other’s DMs, dated for a couple of years, then tied the knot. Fast forward to 2023—news dropped about rough patches (career hustle struggles, classic), but they patched things up, moved into a new place, and started travelling. Still together in 2025, posting #CoupleGoals content online.
Money talk: She’s pulling in a cool $1–2 mil, mostly from her label, fashion shows, and some collabs on the side. The global gigs helped pad those numbers.
When she’s not sketching designs or running Amour Faith Hope, you’ll probably catch her jet-setting, snapping pics, swimming, or nose-deep in a book. London and Singapore are her favourite haunts. Oh, and she’s a big Lord Ganesha devotee—cultural roots, y’know?
Why’s she still making waves in 2025? Well, she’s the poster child for modern Indian entrepreneurship—creative, ambitious, super proud of her roots. Sure, her marriage to Sharad keeps her in the spotlight, but she’s not just “the actor’s wife.” She’s hustling hard, growing her brand, dropping new collections, and pretty much owning her lane in fashion.
Bottom line: Ripci Bhatia is proof that you can mix tradition with fresh ideas and make it work. Balancing public life, a booming label, and a relationship in the limelight? She’s nailing it, honestly.
