She made a strong impression early in her career, winning the Stardust Searchlight Award for Best Actress for her standout performance in the 2012 film Luv Ka The End. That role really put her on the map, and people began to take notice of her talent. Then, in 2014, she added another honor to her growing list—she received the Lions Gold Award for New Heartthrob Film Actress in a Leading Role, which only solidified her rising status in the industry.
Before all the fame and red carpet moments, she made a bold decision that shaped her path. She left Boston University behind to fully commit to her passion—acting. It wasn’t an easy choice, but it clearly paid off. Coming from a family deeply rooted in Bollywood definitely helped shape her journey. Her father, after all, is none other than veteran actor Shakti Kapoor, so you could say acting runs in her blood.
Family-wise, she has one brother named Siddhanth, and her aunt is the renowned actress Padmini Kolhapure—a true legacy of cinematic talent. On the personal side, she was once linked to actor Aditya Roy Kapur, and their relationship drew quite a bit of media attention at the time.
All in all, her journey—from stepping away from college to earning awards and carrying on a powerful family tradition—shows just how determined and driven she’s been from the start.
She really made a name for herself with her breakout role in Aashiqui 2 back in 2013, and that’s when people started to truly notice her talent. It was such a defining moment in her career, and honestly, she nailed every scene. That performance not only showcased her acting skills but also marked the beginning of her rise in the industry. She brought so much emotion and depth to the character, which is probably why the film resonated with so many. Yeah, 2013 was definitely the year she stepped into the spotlight, and she hasn’t looked back since.
