Born in a family that have been actors for generations, including her paternal great-grandfather Kapoor, Prithviraj, his grandfather, Raj Kapoor, his paternal uncles, Shammi, Shashi, Rishi and Rajiv, and aunt, Neetu Singh, & Jennifer Kendall, the wives of Rishi and Shashi respectively. On his maternal side, her grandfather, Hari Shivdasani, and aunt, Sadhana, have been actors in their own rights.

His father, Randhir is very protective towards his daughters and wanted both to keep them away from acting, get married, and settle, in accordance with the Kapoor family tradition. This led to irreconcilable differences between her parents, ultimately leading to a divorce, with both sisters leaving their dad to live with his mother.
His film debut was in 2000 with ‘Refugee’ along with the debut of Amitabh Bachchan’s son, Abhishek. She went on to appear in 31 other Hindi movies, and has thus far won four awards for her performances in ‘Refugee’, ‘Chameli’, ‘Dev’, and ‘Omkara’.

Personal Quotes
Life is full of happiness and tears, be strong and have faith.
I want a man I can keep for myself. I would never share my man with anyone else.
I am not a home breaker and can never be. I have not been brought up to create havoc in other people’s houses.
If I found out that my man is unfaithful, there would be no tears, no shor-sharaba, which he had just slaughter.
Men are cowards. Why can not own up to the women they love?
A lot of guys try to mingle with me for who I am. If I meet a guy with a clean heart, I will go by my instincts. I guess my man will not be from the film industry.
I am a hell raiser. I do my own thing. And I think what I do is right.
I would not be able to turn a blind eye to my husband activities like star wives. I’ll be screaming for this throat, demanding an explanation of every minute of it. So you see an actor will not be good for my peace of mind.
The most shocking part of the articles linking me with Hrithik Roshan was the insinuation that I was willing to give up my career to run after him. Please! Not for a man, never.
My cast mates call me selfish. They say they are only interested in yourself and what you are interested only what is and is facing the camera. I answer, I can not help it, is what led me to where I am.
What I like being in a relationship is that we have to share. Our experiences of life, comparing notes about things that have happened to us. Then you get companionship, which is great. You laugh, talk, you fight. There mazaa that. I like everything about being in a relationship. I like to feel safe. I like the company, so that the other person happy. And if you’re in a good relationship, there’s nothing to not like about him.
