Daughter of veteran actor Anil Kapoor, she initially assisted Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Black (2005) before her acting debut in Bhansali's Saawariya (2007).

Veere Di Wedding (2018), a female-led film, further cemented her position. While recent ventures haven't replicated earlier success, Kapoor remains a significant presence, known for her outspoken nature and fashion influence. She is married to Anand Ahuja and is a vocal advocate for breast cancer awareness and LGBT rights. Her career reflects a journey marked by both critical and commercial highs and lows, solidifying her status as one of Bollywood's more recognizable faces.
