Kashika Kapoor

Kashika Kapoor, born in Mumbai on February 18, 2002, is a total powerhouse. She’s not just an actress and model—she’s one of those rare folks who somehow manages to squeeze a ton of life into barely two decades. For starters, she’s a seriously trained dancer and singer, and she’s got some real acting chops. But wait, there’s more—she’s also got a killer sports background, representing India at national levels in swimming, throwball, basketball, and probably a few other things she hasn’t even mentioned. After crushing it in sports, Kashika decided to chase the acting dream. She spent six months at the Jeff Goldberg Studio in Mumbai, which is kind of a big deal in the acting world. Not enough? She wasn’t done—next up, a full year of training at the New York Film Academy (NYFA), which pretty much screams dedication. But she’s not just about the glitz and glamour. She’s got her heart in the right place, working with tons of NGOs and reaching out to help hundreds of people in need. On the commercial side, she’s been the face of TV campaigns for brands like Vedix and Balaji Wafers. And get this—she’s all set to make her debut in Tollywood, with plans to hit Bollywood next, as long as the scripts are solid and the roles have some real meat. Keep an eye out—she’s just getting started.
