Indian Muslim who grew up in Mumbai. Text courtesy: Movietalkies.com
She began her career when she was just sixteen in ads like the one for the health drink Complan with Shahid Kapur- I'm a Complan Boy! I'm a Complan Girl! She next appeared in Falguni Pathak's music video and one for the video, Shake It Daddy.
Film offers poured in after this and she is believed to have signed a contract for Imtiaz Ali's Socha Na Tha opposite Abhay Deol and Taarzan: The Wonder Car. However, delays in making Socha Na Tha meant that Taarzan was her first release.
She bagged the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award in 2004 for her performance in the film. Subsequently, she has done quite a few films which did not fare very well at the box office.
But the 2006 film, Dor, directed by Nagesh Kuknoor, had the critics raving about her performances yet again. Her recent films like, Sunday and De Taali have not fared very well at the box office. But she will soon be seen in a movie called Paathshala opposite Shahid.
She recently got married to Farhan Azmi, a restaurateur.
