Janhvi Kapoor is an Indian actress who works predominantly in Hindi cinema, alongside recent ventures into Telugu films. Born on March 6, 1997, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, she hails from a prominent film family; she is the daughter of the late legendary actress Sridevi and film producer Boney Kapoor, and the half-sister of actor Arjun Kapoor. She completed her schooling at Dhirubhai Ambani International School and Ecole Mondiale World School in Mumbai. Choosing to pursue a career in acting, she subsequently completed an intensive acting course at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in California before making her screen debut. Kapoor made her highly anticipated acting debut portraying Parthavi Singh in Shashank Khaitan's romantic tragedy *Dhadak* (2018) opposite Ishaan Khatter, which emerged as a commercial success and won her the Zee Cine Award for Best Female Debut. She subsequently transitioned into performance-oriented, female-led narratives, earning critical acclaim and a Filmfare Award for Best Actress nomination for her titular role as the Indian Air Force pilot in the biographical drama *Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl* (2020). She continued exploring diverse genres with roles in the horror-comedy *Roohi* (2021), the black comedy crime film *Good Luck Jerry* (2022), and the survival thriller *Mili* (2022), the latter of which earned her a second Filmfare Best Actress nomination for her performance as a woman trapped in a freezer. Expanding her filmography and challenging herself with varied characters, she starred alongside Varun Dhawan in Nitesh Tiwari's romantic drama *Bawaal* (2023) and headlined the sports drama *Mr. & Mrs. Mahi* (2024) alongside Rajkummar Rao, followed by the political thriller *Ulajh* (2024). In 2024, she made her massive pan-Indian debut in Telugu cinema starring as Thangam opposite Jr. NTR in Koratala Siva's high-octane action epic *Devara: Part 1*. Her upcoming slate of projects extends to Shashank Khaitan's romantic comedy *Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari* (2025) reuniting with Varun Dhawan, the drama *Param Sundari* (2025), *Homebound* (2025), and Buchi Babu Sana's multi-lingual sports action drama *Peddi* (2026) alongside Ram Charan.
