## Career

Kapoor made her student acting debut in the student short film Speak Up, playing Naina in NYFA. In 2023, she made her Hindi film debut with The Archies, portraying Betty Cooper. It was released on Netflix in December 2023. Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com stated that she "appears cute in her sunshine smiles and groomed-in glow but need[s] to loosen up and give that extra something to the camera."
In 2025, Kapoor had her first theatrical release opposite Junaid Khan in the romantic comedy Loveyapa, a remake of the Tamil film Love Today (2022). As it was her third filming experience, Kapoor stated that she felt significantly more confident in her abilities compared to her first project. Vineeta Kumar of India Today wrote that after a poor debut, Kapoor "continues to disappoint" and criticised her Hindi diction. Conversely, News18's Titas Chowdhury took note of her improvement from The Archies and thought that she "impresses particularly in the emotionally heavier scenes". It emerged as a box-office bomb. She next starred in Dharmatic Entertainment's romantic comedy Nadaaniyan opposite debutant Ibrahim Ali Khan, for Netflix. The film was panned by critics. In a scathing review for Firstpost, Lachmi Deb Roy wrote that Kapoor's "expressionless face and frozen smile" failed to make an impact once again. Additionally, reviewers for India Today and WION were disappointed with the chemistry between her and Khan.

Kapoor has said that her self-esteem suffered due to negative comments made on her appearance when she was a child. She has been vocal about undergoing cosmetic surgeries, including a nose job and eyebrow nanoblading.
