After obtaining a triple honours degree in business, finance and economics from Manchester Business School, Chopra returned to India during the 2009 economic recession and joined Yash Raj Films as a public relations consultant. Later, she signed a deal with the company as an actress. She made her acting debut with the 2011 romantic comedy Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, winning the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut, in addition to a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. She followed it by garnering acclaim for her starring roles in the box-office hits Ishaqzaade (2012), Shuddh Desi Romance (2013) and Hasee Toh Phasee (2014). The first of these won her the National Film Award – Special Mention while the former two earned her nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.
This success was followed by several poorly received films and a three-year hiatus. Her only successful films since this period were the horror-comedy Golmaal Again (2017), which became her highest-grossing release; and the war drama Kesari (2019), in which she had a brief role. In 2021, Chopra earned critical praise for her leading roles in the black comedy Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and the sports biopic Saina, earning her third nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for the former. After playing a supporting role in the ensemble film Uunchai (2022), Chopra starred in the biographical drama Amar Singh Chamkila (2024).
In addition to her acting career, Chopra is a prominent celebrity endorser for brands and products. She has sung some of her film songs, including "Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin"[5] and "Teri Mitti". In 2022, Chopra ventured into television by judging the reality show Hunarbaaz: Desh Ki Shaan on Colors TV.[6] Chopra is married to politician Raghav Chadha.
