Tara Sutaria (born 19 November 1995) is an Indian actress, singer and dancer who works in Hindi films and television.[1] She started her television career as a child artist in 2010 with Disney India's Big Bada Boom and went on to star in the channel's sitcoms The Suite Life of Karan & Kabir (2012) and Oye Jassie (2013). In 2019, Sutaria ventured into films by playing a college student in the teen drama Student of the Year 2, for which she won Zee Cine Award for Best Female Debut and was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Also in 2019, she played a mute girl in the action film Marjaavaan.

Early life

Tara Sutaria was born on 19 November 1995 to a Zoroastrian Parsi family in Mumbai.[2][3][4] She has a twin sister named Pia. Both trained in classical ballet, modern dance and Latin American dances at the School of Classical Ballet and Western Dance, Royal Academy of Dance, United Kingdom and the Imperial Society for Teachers of Dancing, United Kingdom. She has been a professional singer since she was seven years old, having sung in operas and competitions since then.[5][6] She received a bachelor's degree in Mass Media from St. Andrew’s College of Arts, Science and Commerce.[7]

Career

Sutaria started her association with Disney Channel India as a video jockey and continued to be associated with them, having two successful sitcoms to her credit. She has also been recording music in India and abroad for films, advertisements, and her own original work. Her song "Slippin' Through My Fingers" is part of the Ashwin Gidwani Production of Bharat Dhabholkar's Blame It On Yashraj. She has also played the lead role of Sandy in Raell Padamsee's production of the musical Grease. She has recorded and performed solo concerts in London, Tokyo, Lavasa and Mumbai. She has performed with Louiz Banks, Mikey McCleary and has also been a soloist for the Stop-Gaps Choral Ensemble, singing at the NCPA for over a decade. She was one of the top seven finalists of the 2008 "Pogo Amazing Kids Awards" in the singer category. She received recognition for her roles of Vinnie in The Suite Life of Karan & Kabir and Jassie in Oye Jassie.[8][9]

Sutaria was among two actresses selected for the part of Princess Jasmine in the American fantasy film Aladdin (2019), but lost the role to Naomi Scott.[10] She made her film debut later that year with Punit Malhotra's coming-of-age teen film Student of the Year 2 alongside Tiger Shroff and Ananya Panday. Produced by Karan Johar, it served as a standalone sequel to Student of the Year (2012) and narrates the story of a college student (portrayed by Shroff) who competes to win an annual school championship. Reviewing the film for The Indian Express, Shubhra Gupta wrote, "Tara Sutaria is perfectly put together and yet looks assembly-line produced".[11] She received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.[12] The film was commercially successful but expectations were higher. The worldwide gross box office collection was 982 million Indian Rupees. The songs of Student of the Year 2 were very praised though. [13]

Later in 2019, Sutaria played the role of Zoya, a mute music teacher, alongside Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh and Rakul Preet Singh, in Milap Zaveri's action film Marjaavaan.[14] In preparation, she learnt sign language. The film was decently successful having a worldwide gross of 65.35 crores. [15] In a scathing review for The Hindu, Namrata Joshi found the film to be "loud, overcooked and overdone" and wrote that Sutaria was reduced to "smiling and weeping alternately".[16]

Sutaria and debutante Ahan Shetty have completed work on Milan Luthria directed romantic thriller Tadap, the remake of Telugu film RX 100 (2018), scheduled for a theatrical release on 3 December 2021.[17]Tadap also stars Saurabh Shukla, Kumud Mishra and Sumit Gulati.[18]The film released theatrically on December 3,2021 and premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on January 28,2022. In her first release for 2022, she will reunite with Shroff in Ahmed Khan's actioner Heropanti 2 which will release in December 2021.[19] In 2022, she will feature opposite Arjun Kapoor in Mohit Suri's psychological suspense film Ek Villain Returns which also stars John Abraham and Disha Patani.[20]

Media

Sutaria was ranked in The Times Most Desirable Women at No. 13 in 2019,[21] at No. 12 in 2020.[22]
