Shraddha Kapoor, born either on March 3, 1987, or 1989, is a prominent Indian actress primarily working in Hindi cinema. She’s known for her versatility and has consistently ranked among India’s highest-paid actresses since 2014, according to Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list. Additionally, she was recognized by Forbes Asia in their 30 Under 30 list in 2016.
Starting her career with a minor role in the 2010 film “Teen Patti,” Kapoor rose to prominence with her first leading role in the teen drama “Luv Ka The End” (2011), winning the Stardust Award for Best Actress. Her breakthrough came with the romantic musical “Aashiqui 2” (2013), where she played a singer, earning her a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. She further showcased her talent in Vishal Bhardwaj’s critically acclaimed drama “Haider” (2014), portraying a character inspired by Ophelia.
Kapoor solidified her position in the industry with leading roles in various genres including the romantic thriller “Ek Villain” (2014), the dance drama “ABCD 2” (2015), and the action film “Baaghi” (2016). Despite facing setbacks with some poorly-received films, she bounced back with successful projects such as the comedy horror “Stree” (2018), the action thriller “Saaho” (2019), the comedy drama “Chhichhore” (2019), and the romantic comedy “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar” (2023).
Apart from acting, Kapoor has lent her voice to several film songs and is also associated with various brands. She even launched her own clothing line in 2015. On social media, particularly Instagram, she holds the distinction of being the second most-followed Indian actor.
Early life and background
In her personal life, Kapoor was born and raised in Mumbai. She comes from a diverse background with Punjabi heritage from her father’s side, and Marathi and Konkani roots from her mother’s side. Her maternal grandfather, Pandharinath Kolhapure, had familial ties to prominent figures in the Indian music industry. Kapoor has mentioned her tomboyish phase during childhood and attributes her strong attitude to it, recalling instances where she would pick fights with boys intentionally.
Shraddha Kapoor comes from a family deeply rooted in the Indian film industry. Her father is Shakti Kapoor, her mother is Shivangi Kapoor, and her elder brother is Siddhanth Kapoor. She also has two aunts who are actresses, Padmini Kolhapure and Tejaswini Kolhapure. Additionally, she is the great-niece of legendary singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, and others.
Growing up in such an environment, Kapoor always had a passion for acting. She would often imitate film dialogues and dance to Bollywood songs in front of the mirror, wearing her parents’ clothes. Her childhood was filled with visits to shooting locations, accompanying her father, which exposed her to the world of cinema at a young age. During these visits, she befriended Varun Dhawan, another actor, and they would play pretend games mimicking film shoots.
Education-wise, Kapoor attended Jamnabai Narsee School and later shifted to the American School of Bombay. There, she was classmates with other future actors like Tiger Shroff and Athiya Shetty. They often participated in dance competitions together. Despite her inclination towards acting, Kapoor also explored sports like soccer and handball during her teenage years. Eventually, she enrolled at Boston University with a major in psychology but left after her first year when she was offered a role in her debut film.
Career
Early work and breakthrough (2010–2016)
Her acting journey began with the 2010 thriller “Teen Patti,” where she starred alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Ben Kingsley. Although the film received mixed reviews, Kapoor’s performance was noted positively. She followed this with a role in the 2011 film “Luv Ka The End,” where she received acclaim for her portrayal of a teenage girl seeking revenge on her cheating boyfriend. Kapoor’s breakthrough came with “Aashiqui 2” in 2013, which she chose over a contract with Yash Raj Films. Her performance in the film earned her widespread recognition and critical acclaim.
In 2013, Kapoor had a breakthrough role in Mohit Suri’s romantic musical “Aashiqui 2,” which was a sequel to the 1990 film “Aashiqui.” She portrayed Aarohi Keshav Shirke, a small-town bar singer who rises to fame with the support of a popular male singer (played by Aditya Roy Kapur). The film was a commercial success, grossing ₹1.09 billion (US$14 million) globally. Anupama Chopra praised Kapoor’s performance, highlighting her “haunting vulnerability,” while Vinayak Chakravorty felt she lacked spark despite her beauty. Kapoor received nominations for Best Actress at various awards, including her first at the Filmfare Awards. She also made a guest appearance in the romantic comedy “Gori Tere Pyaar Mein” the same year.
In 2014, Kapoor collaborated with Suri again for the romantic thriller “Ek Villain,” marking her singing debut with the song “Galliyan.” The film, although facing plagiarism accusations, was a commercial success, earning over ₹1 billion (US$13 million) domestically. Critics praised Kapoor’s performance, with Raedita Tandon calling her a revelation. Kapoor also appeared in Vishal Bhardwaj’s acclaimed drama “Haider,” an adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” where she played a journalist named Arshia. Her portrayal was lauded for its composed portrayal of nuanced emotions. Additionally, she performed an item number “Dance Basanti” in the Karan Johar-produced thriller “Ungli.”
In 2015, Kapoor starred in the sequel “ABCD 2,” a dance film where she portrayed Vinita Sharma, a hip-hop dancer competing in an international competition alongside her childhood friend (played by Varun Dhawan). She underwent training in various dance forms for the role. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, the film grossed ₹1.57 billion (US$20 million) worldwide, becoming Kapoor’s most widely-seen film at that time.
Career fluctuations (2016–2017)
During 2016 and 2017, Shraddha Kapoor experienced significant fluctuations in her career trajectory. In 2016, she began with a notable role in the action film “Baaghi” opposite Tiger Shroff, where she portrayed his love interest. Despite mixed reviews about her character being outdated, Kapoor’s performance in the romantic and action sequences was deemed satisfactory. Commercially, “Baaghi” performed well, collecting over ₹1.26 billion.
Later in 2016, Kapoor appeared in the rock musical drama “Rock On 2,” a sequel to the successful “Rock On!!” She played the role of Jiah Sharma, an introverted singer and keyboard player. Despite her efforts to prepare for the role, the film failed to impress critics or audiences, resulting in commercial failure.
Moving into 2017, Kapoor starred in Shaad Ali’s romantic drama “Ok Jaanu,” a remake of Mani Ratnam’s Tamil film “O Kadhal Kanmani.” While the film received mixed reviews, Kapoor’s performance was often compared unfavorably to the original actress, Nithya Menen.
Her next release was the romance “Half Girlfriend,” based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel, where she was paired opposite Arjun Kapoor. However, the film was criticized for its simplistic storyline, and Kapoor’s performance was deemed lacking depth by some critics.
In the same year, Kapoor appeared in “Haseena Parkar,” a biopic of Dawood Ibrahim’s sister, in the titular role. However, the film was heavily criticized, with Kapoor’s performance also receiving negative feedback for lacking maturity and depth.
Overall, despite experiencing commercial success with “Baaghi” and moderate success with “Half Girlfriend,” Kapoor faced challenges in maintaining critical acclaim and box office success during this period.
Commercial success (2018–present)
From 2018 to the present, Kapoor has seen a mix of commercial successes and critical feedback. Her performance in “Stree” alongside Rajkummar Rao was well-received, with critics noting her mysterious portrayal. The film emerged as her highest-grossing release at the time. However, “Batti Gul Meter Chalu” faced production issues and received mixed reviews, with some critics highlighting Kapoor’s need for improvement in her acting skills.
While initially committed to a biopic of badminton player Saina Nehwal, Kapoor opted out due to scheduling conflicts. In 2019, she appeared in “Saaho” opposite Prabhas, which received mixed reviews, particularly for her role. However, “Chhichhore,” released the same year, garnered praise for its portrayal of college life, with Kapoor delivering a moving performance.
Entering the new decade, Kapoor reunited with Varun Dhawan in “Street Dancer 3D,” which failed to make an impact commercially. “Baaghi 3” also received criticism, especially for its portrayal of Kapoor’s character. The COVID-19 pandemic further impacted her career, leading to a three-year hiatus.
Returning to the screen in 2023 with “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar” alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Kapoor received praise for her performance, though some critics noted moments of overacting. The film achieved moderate commercial success.
Upcoming projects include reprising her role in the sequel “Stree 2.”
Other work and media image
In 2014, alongside her acting career, Kapoor expanded her presence in various domains. She engaged in philanthropic endeavors, participated in stage performances, showcased her vocal talents in films, and graced the ramps of Lakme Fashion Week for renowned designers. Her versatility extended to magazine covers, where she often appeared as the face of fashion and beauty. Moreover, Kapoor’s endorsement deals ranged from Lakmé and Veet to Lipton and Marico’s Hair & Care, cementing her status as a sought-after brand ambassador and a pivotal figure in the advertising industry, as recognized by Bollywood Hungama.
In March 2015, she ventured into fashion entrepreneurship with the launch of her own women’s clothing line, Imara, in collaboration with Amazon. Beyond fashion and business, Kapoor’s popularity soared, with accolades like being ranked among the sexiest actresses globally and featuring prominently in McAfee’s most-searched celebrities poll. Google Trends affirmed her status as one of the most-searched Indian actresses during this period.
Rediff.com and The Times of India consistently acknowledged her as a leading figure in Bollywood, while Forbes India recognized her as one of the highest-paid actresses in the country. Kapoor’s influence transcended borders, earning her a spot in Forbes Asia’s list of successful Asians under 30.
Her social media prowess was evident as she amassed millions of followers on platforms like Instagram, solidifying her position as one of India’s most followed celebrities. Kapoor’s fashion sense garnered widespread praise, leading to invitations for prestigious ramp walks and earning her recognition among the highest-paid actresses in Bollywood.
In 2018, Eastern Eye hailed her as one of the sexiest women in Bollywood, while in 2020, she clinched the title of the third most followed Indian celebrity on Instagram and was honored as the Hottest Vegetarian by Peta India. Kapoor’s commitment to social causes was also evident in her participation in documentaries like “Tails of Boo Boo & Cuddly Poo,” shedding light on the plight of stray animals in 2021.
