Born on June 8, 1957, Indian actress Dimple Kapadia is one of the leading and most successful actresses of Bollywood. Born in Mumbai to parents belonging to the Ismaili Khoja community, Kapadia studied at St. Joseph’s Convent High School.

The movie was a blockbuster hit, and Kapadia’s role as the lead actress was critically lauded. The following year, before the release of ‘Bobby,’ 15-year-old Kapadia married actor Rajesh Khanna, who was then 30-years old. She quit acting at the behest of her husband.

Following their separation, Kapadia made a comeback in Bollywood with the blockbuster hit ‘Saagar’ (1985), starring actors Rishi Kapoor and Kamal Haasan, and directed by Ramesh Sippy. With a career spanning more than 40 years, Kapadia has appeared in more than 50 Bollywood movies, as of 2021.
