This scene-stealing 26-year-old actress made her Bollywood debut with a supporting role in a Yash Raj film.
She had the whole industry talking about her brilliant screen presence and soon graduated to leading lady roles with her second film.

Psst, she also has two actress cousins.
She has shared this nostalgic picture of herself with her folks on her Instagram.
