In 2012, Sharif revealed that she has acrophobia, a fear of heights, which she has had since childhood.[8]

After dating for almost a year, Sharif married film distributor-turned-producer Amit Kapoor on 27 December 2013.[9][10] The couple have one son, Arain Kapoor, born on 2 September 2015.[11][12][13]

Career

[edit]

During her second year in college, Sharif began receiving offers for modelling various brands. She started her career by featuring in several music videos, which helped her gain early recognition in the entertainment industry.[16]

Sharif made her acting debut in 2003 with the television series Kahiin to Hoga, portraying Kashish Sinha opposite Rajeev Khandelwal.[17] The series, which aired on Star Plus until 2007, was a major success and became one of the most popular Indian television dramas of the early 2000s. Her performance received critical and audience acclaim and earned her several television awards, establishing her as one of the leading actresses on Indian television.

From 2012 to 2013, Sharif portrayed Muskaan Mishra in Sony Entertainment Television's romantic drama Hongey Judaa Na Hum, opposite Raqesh Vashisth. Although the series received mixed reviews, Sharif’s portrayal was noted for its emotional depth and maturity.

Sharif made her film debut in 2009 with the romantic comedy Aloo Chaat opposite Aftab Shivdasani.[16] The same year, she appeared alongside Shivdasani again in Aao Wish Karein.[18] In 2014, she appeared in Mohit Suri’s action thriller Ek Villain, portraying Sulochana Khurana, the sister of Riteish Deshmukh’s character.[16] Despite appearing in a few films, Sharif did not achieve significant recognition in cinema and subsequently returned to television.

After a brief hiatus, she returned to television in 2012 with Hongey Judaa Na Hum and later continued to appear in several projects.[19] In 2019, Sharif made her comeback after six years with StarPlus's Kasautii Zindagii Kay, in which she played the antagonist Komolika Basu, replacing Hina Khan.[20] Her portrayal received positive reviews for adding freshness to the popular character.

In 2022, Sharif made her digital debut with the web series Damaged 3, followed by Aadha Ishq opposite Gaurav Arora on Voot. Both performances were well received, and critics noted her successful transition from television to digital platforms.[21]

In addition to acting, Sharif is known for her fashion sense and public appearances. She has been featured in several style and lifestyle publications and continues to endorse brands across fashion and beauty segments.[22]
