Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Dhoom 3 (2013) and Bang Bang! (2014) were among the biggest hits of the decade.
Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), Bharat (2019), Sooryavanshi (2021) and Tiger 3 (2023) were also hits. Zero (2018) won her the Zee Cine Award for Best Supporting Actress, and Merry Christmas (2024) was well received. She launched the cosmetics line Kay Beauty in 2019.

Her mother, Suzanne, is an English lawyer and charity worker who moved the family through Hong Kong, China, Japan, France, Switzerland, Poland, Belgium and Hawaii before London.
