Kim Sharma burst onto the scene with Mohabbatein in 2000, embodying the pure-hearted Sanjana. In Aditya Chopra’s multi-starrer, she held her own against Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Amitabh Bachchan. Her debut wasn’t just promising—it was phenomenal, blending beauty, innocence, and acting chops that made her unforgettable.
The Ahmednagar-born star (January 21, 1980) enjoyed a fairy-tale start. Yet, Bollywood’s ruthlessness soon surfaced. Post-Mohabbatein films—Tumse Achha Kaun Hai, the Telugu Magadheera, Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, Taj Mahal: An Eternal Love Story, Tom Dick and Harry, Chupke Se—bombed commercially. No major hits emerged, stalling her ascent.
She bowed out around 2011 with Loot as her swan song. Marriage to Kenyan hotelier Ali Punjani relocated her life abroad. Off-screen, drama ensued: her affair with Yuvraj Singh became tabloid fodder, broken engagements made waves, and the 2016 divorce prompted a return home.
Rumors tied her to Harshvardhan Rane and Leander Paes, but acting dreams faded. Pivot came via Dharma Cornerstone Agency, where as Executive Vice President, she handles talents for Karan Johar’s powerhouse and Cornerstone’s partnership. Her bridal grooming venture in Mumbai adds to her portfolio.
From red carpets to boardrooms, Kim’s Instagram brims with fitness feats, global jaunts, and stylish living. Her story underscores Bollywood’s fleeting fame and the power of reinvention.
