known as Little Superstar. He was also a
childhood sweetheart of Rajnikanth's eldest
daughter, Aishwarya, and planned to marry
her. However as he grew up, he became more
passionate about films and could not devote
more time to spend with her. In addition, her
mother, Latha Rajnikanth, strongly opposed
their romance and put an end to it. Aishwarya
then went on to marry another young film star,
Dhanush. Although Simbhu was heartbroken,

his heartbreak became an inspiration for his
6th film as an adult hero, Manmadhan. In his
first five films which were hardly even average
grossers, he was heavily criticized for
imitating Superstar Rajnikanth's style,
dialogue delivery and actions. Everyone
predicted he will never be able to prove his
worth in films. However, with manmadhan, he
proved everyone wrong when they saw the
genius in him.He penned the story, screenplay
and even ghost-directed the film himself. His
acting in the film resembled that of Kamal
Hassan himself. The film, which was all about
how women cheated men, became a huge hit
and his first real break as his previous 5 films
as an adult hero were unsuccessful. In
mid-2005, at the age of 25, he became the
youngest director ever in Tamil Cinema to
direct his directorial debut, Vallavan, the
sequel to 2004's manmadhan. He is also

for generations, including her paternal great-
grandfather, Prithviraj Kapoor; her
grandfather, Raj Kapoor; her paternal uncles,
Shammi, Shashi, Rishi, and Rajiv; as well as
aunt, Neetu Singh, & Jennifer Kendall, the
wives of Rishi and Shashi respectively. On her
maternal side, her grandfather, Hari
Shivdasani, and aunt, Sadhana, have been
actors in their own rights.
As a child she studied in Jamnabai Narsee
School in Juhu, Bombay, and thereafter was
enrolled in Dehra Dun's prestigious Welham
Girls' Boarding School. Then she re-located to
Harvard for approximately 3 months to take a
course in Information Technology and
Microcomputers. Upon her return to India, she
joined the Government Law College in
Churchgate, Bombay, but left it after one year,
to enroll in the Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting
School.
Her dad, Randhir is very protective towards his
daughters and wanted both of them to keep
away from acting, get married, and settle
down, as per the Kapoor family tradition. This
led to irreconcilable differences between her
parents, ultimately leading to a divorce, with
both sisters leaving their dad to live with their
mom.
Her film debut was in the year 2000 with
'Refugee' along with the debut of Amitabh
Bachchan's son, Abhishek. She went on to
appear in 31 other Hindi movies, and has thus
far won four awards for her performances in
'Refugee', 'Chameli', 'Dev', and 'Omkara'.
She is one of the most sought-after actresses
in Bollywood, considered bankable, with an
enviable A-listing and as of June 2007 is to
appear in 'Tashan', 'Lajjo', 'Kismat Talkies'
amongst others.
