She made her Bollywood debut in 2013 opposite Sushant Kapoor in Shuddh Desi Romance and then disappeared! When she re-appeared on the Bollywood firmament in 2016, she decided to do so with a bang.
In a film directed by Aditya Chopra.
Opposite Ranveer Singh.
Whom she kisses -- in the film, of course! -- so many times that we've lost track.
