This year, I’m going to miss all of that.” On the work front, Vaani will also make her streaming debut in Yash Raj Entertainment’s series “Mandala Murders,” a gripping thriller that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Kapoor started her career in the Hindi film industry by signing a three films deal with Yash Raj Films. She was selected through an audition to play a supporting role in the romantic comedy Shuddh Desi Romance, alongside Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra.

The film dealt with the subject of live-in relationships; it received positive feedback from critics, and Kapoor’s portrayal of an outspoken girl, Tara, was praised. Mohar Basu of Koimoi wrote that Kapoor was “a pleasant debutant though she isn’t an overtly powerful actress” while Madhureeta Mukherjee of The Times Of India thought that she was “impressive, pretty and commands a good screen-presence”. Shuddh Desi Romance collected US$9.8 million at the box-office worldwide and emerged as a commercial success. At the 59th Filmfare Awards, Kapoor was awarded with the Best Female Debut award.

Kapoor’s next release was the Tamil romantic comedy Aaha Kalyanam, an official remake of the 2010 Hindi film Band Baaja Baaraat. She was cast opposite Nani and learned the Tamil language for the film. Upon release, the film was panned by critics and her performance was poorly received.

In 2016, Kapoor appeared in Aditya Chopra’s romantic comedy Befikre opposite Ranveer Singh, which was set in Paris. She played Shyra Gill, a French tourist guide of Indian descent whose romantic liaisons with Singh’s character leads to conflict between them.
