Daughter of veteran actor Anil Kapoor, she initially assisted Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Black (2005) before her acting debut in Bhansali's Saawariya (2007). While initially facing commercial setbacks and critical scrutiny for repetitive roles, Kapoor's career trajectory shifted with Raanjhanaa (2013), earning her critical acclaim and award nominations. Subsequent success arrived through supporting roles in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) and Sanju (2018), and a leading role in the blockbuster Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015).

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.
