Mumbai, Aug 21 (IANS) — Actress Vaani Kapoor, who turns a year older on August 23, kick-started her birthday festivities a little early with her closest family and friends. Taking to Instagram, she shared glimpses of the celebration with the caption, “Birthday love came early from the best ones,” radiating happiness as she stepped into another year of success.
Born on August 23, 1988, in New Delhi, Vaani’s journey to Bollywood has been marked by determination and reinvention. After studying tourism and briefly working in the corporate world, she transitioned into modelling before landing her first big break in Yash Raj Films’ Shuddh Desi Romance (2013) opposite Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra. Her effortless performance not only resonated with young audiences but also earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
She went on to make her Tamil debut with Aaha Kalyanam (2014) and later grabbed attention with her bold performance in Befikre alongside Ranveer Singh. After a short hiatus, she bounced back with the blockbuster War opposite Hrithik Roshan, followed by diverse roles in Bell Bottom and Shamshera. Her most acclaimed role came in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, where she portrayed a transgender woman with sensitivity, earning widespread praise for taking on such a progressive role.
Vaani recently forayed into the digital space with the OTT series Mandala Murderers, further expanding her repertoire. Up next, she will be seen opposite Fawad Khan in Abeer Gulaal, a film already making headlines due to its association with a Pakistani actor, which currently prevents it from being released in India.
As she celebrates her birthday this year, Vaani Kapoor is not just cherished for her elegance and beauty but admired for her steady evolution as an actress who continues to challenge herself with varied and unconventional roles.
