Dimple Kapadia (born 8 June 1957) is an Indian actress who predominantly appears in Hindi films. Born and raised in Bombay by wealthy parents, she aspired to become an actress from a young age and received her first opportunity through her father's efforts to launch her in the film industry.

The family resided in the Bombay suburb Santacruz, where Kapadia studied at St Joseph's Convent High School.
Kapadia returned to acting in 1984, two years after her separation from Khanna, saying she had a personal need to prove her own capabilities to herself. Over the next decade, she became one of the leading female actors in Hindi cinema. Her first post-hiatus film was Saagar; a mutual friend notified the director Ramesh Sippy about Kapadia's willingness to return to acting. She considered her screen test for the film unsuccessful because she was "literally shivering" while performing it, but Sippy cast her to play the lead part opposite her Bobby co-star Rishi Kapoor. The film was intended to be her comeback vehicle but its one-year delay meant several of her later projects were released before, the first of which was Zakhmi Sher (1984).
A role in the Hollywood thriller Tenet (2020) brought her further recognition. Kapadia is the mother of Twinkle Khanna and Rinke Khanna, both of whom are former actresses.
Munni Dhawan, a close friend of Kapoor, suggested he consider Kapadia, having been acquainted with her father. In June that year, at the age of 14, Kapadia performed a screen test for the film on the sets of one of Kapoor's productions. Impressed with her spontaneity and improvisation, Kapoor cast her in the part.
For the rest of the decade, Kapadia returned to film twice for minor roles in the action comedies Welcome Back (2015) and Dabangg 3 (2019). She played a conwoman in Anees Bazmee 's Welcome Back along with an ensemble cast led by Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar.
Dimple Kapadia made her Bollywood debut with the film Bobby where she was paired opposite Rishi Kapoor in a Raj Kapoor film. Dimple Kapadia made a mark in her very first film and took the industry by storm with this massive hit which earned her a Filmfare Award for Best Actress. Dimple also became a trendsetter after sporting a white polka-dotted shirt with a black mini skirt in the film, which became a wardrobe must-have for all the girls at the time. The polka dots were also famously renamed to “Bobby print” in India after the film came out. Bobby still remains fresh in the minds of people four decades later.
Dimple Kapadia delivered another stellar performance with Janbaaz where she was cast opposite Anil Kapoor. The film also featured Feroz Khan and Amrish Puri who mesmerized the audience with their power-packed performances. Dimple Kapadia stood out with her act as Anil Kapoor’s love interest where the duo was seen indulging in intimate scenes through the film.
