In her first film of the 2020s, Kapadia appeared alongside Irrfan Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the comedy-drama "Angrezi Medium" (2020), her fourth project under Homi Adajania's direction. A spiritual sequel to the 2017 film "Hindi Medium", it was theatrically released in India on 13 March amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected its commercial performance due to the closing of cinemas. Initial plans for a re-release were cancelled and the film was made available digitally less than a month later. Kapadia played a strict store owner estranged from her daughter (Kapoor), a role Vinayak Chakravorty of "Outlook" thought was "used to highlight loneliness among the aged" but believed could have been stronger.
