A decade-old post by late actor Rishi Kapoor praising television star Mohit Malik has resurfaced online, and fans are looking back at how confidently the veteran actor had predicted a bright future for him.
Back in September 2015, when Mohit was participating in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded, Rishi had taken to social media to publicly appreciate his potential.
Sharing a picture of Mohit, Rishi wrote, “I predict stardom for this actor Mohit Malik. You have all that you need to. #JhalakReloaded.”
The post has now found its way back into conversations around Mohit’s career journey, making the throwback especially interesting years after the compliment was first made.
At the time, Mohit was already a familiar face on television.
He had gained recognition with shows such as Banoo Main Teri Dulhann, where he played Bharat, and later took on darker characters including Samrat Singh Rathore in Doli Armaano Ki.
His participation in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded brought another side of him before audiences, and it was during this phase that Rishi publicly backed him.

“I predict stardom for this actor Mohit Malik. You have all that you need to,” Rishi wrote on September 12, 2015.
The brief message stood out because it came from an established film star who was known for openly sharing his opinions about actors, films and performances.
Mohit Malik’s journey has continued across formats
Over the years, Mohit has continued to work across television and streaming projects, moving between different genres and characters.
The resurfaced post has prompted fans to revisit his career and Rishi’s early confidence in his potential.
A social media post sharing the old tweet noted how the prediction feels more special today, years after Rishi first wrote those words.
For Mohit, the appreciation also serves as a reminder of how one moment of recognition from a senior actor can remain memorable even after a decade.
Rishi Kapoor, who died in 2020, was known for his candid social media presence and often used the platform to praise performers or comment on developments within the entertainment industry.
His 2015 words for Mohit have now become one of those throwback moments that continues to find resonance years later.
