Career
Kapoor with her father
Shakti Kapoor, who appeared in a cameo in
Teen Patti
Kapoor made her acting debut in the 2010 drama
Teen Patti alongside
Amitabh Bachchan,
Ben Kingsley and
R. Madhavan. She played the role of a college girl. The film received generally negative reviews though her performance was better received. Preeti Arora writing for
Rediff.com stated that "[t]hough a bit raw, she has a lot of potential."
[5] Nikhat Kazmireviewed: "Shraddha Kapoor makes an interesting debut as the edgy youngster who sheds her specs for sleaze, with alacrity."
[6] Kapoor was nominated for the
Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut, however, the film failed to do well at the box-office.
[7][8][9]
After her debut, she signed a three-film deal with
Yash Raj Films and featured in their 2011 teen comedy
Luv Ka The End with
Taaha Shah.
[10] Kapoor portrayed the lead role of a teenage student who plots against her boyfriend after he cheats on her.
[11] The film underperformed at the box office and received mixed reviews from critics.
[12] However, Kapoor's performance received a positive critical reception.
Taran Adarsh wrote: ″Shraddha is a revelation, catching you unaware with a confident performance. She's electrifying in the sequence when she breaks down after getting to know the true intentions of her lover.″
[13] Komal Nahta added: ″Shraddha Kapoor does well. She performs very confidently and impresses in her second film.″
[14] For her performance, Kapoor received the Stardust Searchlight Award for Best Actress.
[15] Kapoor was subsequently offered the lead female role in
Aurangzebas a part of her deal with Yash Raj Films. However, she signed on to
Vishesh Films'
Aashiqui 2 instead, thereby cancelling the three-film contract with Yash Raj Films.
[10]

Ek Villain, 2014
In 2013, Kapoor found her breakthrough role in
Mohit Suri's romantic musical drama
Aashiqui 2, the sequel to the 1990 film
Aashiqui. She was cast as Aarohi Keshav Shirke, a small-town bar singer who becomes a successful playback artist with the help of a popular male singer (played by
Aditya Roy Kapur). The film was a major box office success with a global revenue of
1.09 billion (US$17 million).
[16][17] Film critic
Anupama Chopra called Kapoor a "real triumph" and added that her "porcelain face has a haunting vulnerability."
[18] However, Vinayak Chakravorty of
India Today wrote that she "looks pretty [though] fails to add [...] spark."
[19] Kapoor received several nominations in the Best Actress category, including one at the
Filmfare Awards.
[20] That year, she also appeared in a guest appearance for the romantic comedy
Gori Tere Pyaar Mein, playing the fiancée of
Imran Khan's character.
[21]
Kapoor next reunited with Suri for the thriller
Ek Villain (2014), for which she also sang the song "Galliyan".
[22] The film tells the story of a hardened criminal (played by
Sidharth Malhotra) whose terminally ill wife (played by Kapoor) is brutally murdered by a serial killer. The film was generally perceived to be plagiarised from the
Korean film I Saw the Devil, although Suri claimed that it was an original film.
[23] In her review, Raedita Tandon of
Filmfare called the film a "gritty, engaging thriller", and stated that Kapoor was a revelation in it.
[24] The film eventually emerged as a major commercial success with domestic revenues of over
1 billion (US$16 million).
[25] Her second release that year was
Vishal Bhardwaj's critically acclaimed drama
Haider, an adaptation of
William Shakespeare's
Hamlet set during the
Kashmir conflict of 1995.
[26] She played the
Ophelia character, a journalist named Arshia, opposite
Shahid Kapoor and
Tabu. Writing for
Deccan Chronicle, critic Kusumita Das praised Kapoor's effort in capturing the varied nuances of her character and noted that her portrayal was "surprisingly composed".
[27]

Lakme Fashion Week[31] and India International Jewellery Week.
[32] In late 2013, she performed in a fund raising event organized by
STAR India.
[33]

[35]
