Vaani Kapoor Rings in Birthday Early: From Bollywood Debut to Bold Choices and Beyond
Mumbai, Aug 21 (TTP): Bollywood actress Vaani Kapoor, who turns 37 on August 23, 2025, celebrated her birthday early with close friends and family. Sharing glimpses on Instagram with the caption, “Birthday love came early from the best ones,” the actress looked radiant as she welcomed another year of milestones, success, and reinvention.
From Delhi to the Silver Screen
Born in New Delhi in 1988, Vaani’s career trajectory has been a mix of determination and adaptability. After studying tourism and working briefly in the corporate sector, she transitioned into modelling — a step that opened doors to the film industry.
Her breakthrough came in 2013 with Yash Raj Films’ Shuddh Desi Romance opposite Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra. The youth-centric film struck a chord with audiences, and Vaani’s fresh and natural performance earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
The following year, she ventured into Tamil cinema with Aaha Kalyanam (2014), further broadening her acting repertoire.
Bold Choices and Screen Presence
Vaani next appeared in the 2016 romantic drama Befikre alongside Ranveer Singh. The film courted controversy for its bold storytelling and unconventional treatment of romance, but it showcased Vaani’s fearless screen presence and charisma.
After a brief hiatus, she returned to mainstream cinema with the blockbuster War (2019) starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, cementing her image as a versatile performer.
Acclaimed for Path-Breaking Roles
Her career-defining moment came in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021), where she portrayed a transgender woman opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. The sensitive portrayal won her critical acclaim and respect across the industry for taking on such a progressive and challenging role.
Vaani later appeared in Bell Bottom (2021) with Akshay Kumar and Shamshera (2022) alongside Ranbir Kapoor, each adding to her growing list of big-ticket projects.
Most recently, she made her OTT debut with Mandala Murderers, proving her ability to adapt to the evolving digital entertainment landscape.
What’s Next for Vaani Kapoor?
The actress is now set to star in Abeer Gulaal opposite Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. While the project has generated buzz for its cross-border collaboration, it has also drawn controversy, as films featuring Pakistani artists currently face a ban in India. This has led to uncertainty about the film’s domestic release.
Despite the challenges, the pairing has already generated significant anticipation internationally.
A Career Marked by Reinvention
As Vaani Kapoor celebrates her birthday this year, her journey reflects that of an actress unafraid to take risks — whether in her choice of roles, stepping into new industries, or embracing digital platforms. Known for her elegance, grace, and bold career decisions, she continues to carve out a space where glamour meets substance.
Her fans, meanwhile, await her next moves with excitement, hoping that her versatility and courage will keep pushing boundaries in Indian cinema.
