Shraddha Kapoor (born 3 March 1987)[1] is an Indian actress who primarily works in Hindi films. One of India’s highest-paid actresses, Kapoor has been featured in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list since 2014 and was featured by Forbes Asia in their 30 Under 30 list of 2016.
The daughter of actor Shakti Kapoor, she began her acting career with a brief role in the 2010 heist film Teen Patti, for which she received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut, followed by her first leading role in the teen drama Luv Ka The End (2011), but both films failed to propel her career forward. Kapoor had her breakthrough with Mohit Suri’s romantic musical Aashiqui 2 (2013), which earned her a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. She received critical appreciation for playing a character inspired by Ophelia in Vishal Bhardwaj’s acclaimed drama Haider (2014)
She went on to establish herself with starring roles in the romantic thriller Ek Villain (2014), the dance drama ABCD 2 (2015), and the action film Baaghi (2016). After a series of poorly received releases, Kapoor regained commercial success with the comedies Chhichhore (2019) and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (2023), the action thriller Saaho (2019), and the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe films Stree (2018) and its sequel Stree 2 (2024). The latter emerged as her highest-grossing release and earned her a second Filmfare Award nomination for Best Actress.
