Following the backlash after appearing in promotional videos with much older actors like Karan Kundrra (38 at the time) and Mika Singh (45 at the time), many criticized Riva’s parents, particularly her mother, accusing them of exploiting her youth for fame and success.

Riva Arora is very active on social media. She has accounts on numerous social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, & Snapchat. She also has a YouTube channel where she uploads pranks and vlogs.

Riva Arora has become the richest young actor in India for the year 2024

According to a report by GQ India, Riva Arora’s estimated net worth stands at approximately ₹8.2 crore. Sounds unbelievable? We agree. This has not only made her rich but also given her the title of the richest young actor in India.

She has overtaken Sara Arjun, daughter of acclaimed South Indian actor Raj Arjun, who previously held a net worth of around ₹10 crore. However, Sara’s transition to adulthood, having turned 18 in June, has shifted her out of the child actor category.

In June 2024, Riva purchased a brand new Hyundai SUV and in 2023 she bought a swanky black Audi Q3 worth Rs 40 lakh after reaching 10 million followers. No wonder she got the title of richest young actor.

As per Riva Arora and her family, she has turned 17 in the year 2024

In an interview with DNA, Riva Arora addressed the controversy surrounding her age, stating that she chooses to focus on the love she receives rather than the criticism. Responding to the backlash, Riva 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.”

Based on her comments and recent reports, it is now indicated that Riva has turned 17 in 2024, clarifying some of the confusion around her age.
