ABOUT Dimple Kapadia

Dimple Kapadia: A Versatile Career Spanning Decades Dimple Kapadia, born June 8, 1957, is a veteran Bollywood actress renowned for her versatility and compelling screen presence. Launched at 14 by Raj Kapoor in the iconic Bobby (1973), the film catapulted her to instant stardom, earning her a Filmfare Best Actress Award. Her marriage to Rajesh Khanna shortly after briefly interrupted her career, but she returned triumphantly in 1985 with Saagar, another Filmfare Best Actress Award winner. Kapadia's career showcases a remarkable range. Initially known for her beauty, she actively sought diverse roles. She starred in several women-centric action films, a rarity at the time. Her critical acclaim solidified with powerful performances in films like Kaash (1987), Drishti (1990), Lekin… (1991), and Rudaali (1993), which earned her the National Film Award for Best Actress and a Filmfare Critics Award. Strong supporting roles in films like Prahaar, Angaar, Gardish, and Krantiveer further cemented her position. In recent years, Kapadia has continued to captivate audiences. Her roles in Dil Chahta Hai (2001) and Leela (2002) defied typical portrayals of women her age. Her work in films like Being Cyrus, Luck by Chance, Dabangg, and Cocktail showcased her ability to seamlessly transition between lead and supporting roles. More recently, appearances in Tenet (2020), Pathaan (2023), and the series Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo (2023) demonstrate her enduring appeal and continued success across diverse platforms. Kapadia’s legacy rests on her ability to consistently choose challenging roles, defying age-related typecasting and maintaining a remarkable career trajectory.
