From debuting at the mere age of twelve in a film to becoming one of the most loved and popular actresses of Indian television, Jennifer Winget has had one of the most amazing journeys...

Who would have thought the nerdy little girl from the film, 'Kuch Naa Kaho' would go on to become one of the most beautiful actresses.

Let's take you through the voyage of the pretty, talented and beautiful, Jennifer Winget..

Born on 30th May 1985, Jennifer was bitten with the acting bug real soon..At the mere age of twelve, Jennifer debuted in the Rani Mukherji starrer, 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat' followed by a role in the film, 'Raja Ko Rani Se Pyar Ho Gaya'. (in pic)

And Of course that cute 'kid-turning-teen' in the film, 'Kuch Naa Kaho'.

Before, we could realise, she made her cute presence felt on television for the first time ever in the show, 'Shaka Laka Boom Boom'.

The kickstart to Jennifer's tele career had begun and thus she went on to star in various shows like 'Kkusum' and 'Koi Dil Mein Hai', however, playing the grown up Sneha in 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay' brought her to notice.

After the 'Kasautii..' stint, Jennifer chose to be a part of various reality shows either as a contestant or as a host. However, this streak was broken in absolute style with her comeback to fiction in the already popular show, 'Dill Mill Gayye'. The show was already extremely popular before her entry, but Jennifer entered as the cute Dr Riddhima Gupta (third face for the same role) and got the viewers to be her fans all over again. Her chemistry with actor, Karan Singh Grover was loved dearly by everyone.

After 'Dill Mill Gayye', Jennifer once again chose to go the reality show way before starring as the lead in the much hyped, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Saraswatichandra'. The show became immensely popular and the leads Gautam Rode and Jennifer herself were applauded for their performances.

Jennifer's on-screen love story with Karan Singh Grover had transpired into off-screen love where they got married in 2012 before divorcing in 2014.

However, none of this brought Jennifer down and she continued to work in full force. The actress is set to make her Bollywood debut (as an adult) in the upcoming film, 'Phir Se'.

In this amazing career, Jennifer has also been the recipient of several awards which include 'Best Actress in a Supporting Role' for 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay' and 'Best Actress (Critics)' for 'Saraswatichandra' at the Indian Telly Awards. And her Saraswatichandra stint was so loved, that she also won the 'Best Actress (Jury)' award at the Indian Television Academy Awards.

Did you know? That Jennifer was ranked 21st in the World's Sexiest Asian Women List in 2012. I mean, how can one not agree to it..!!

Jennifer has been off the small screen for quite some time now, however is in the news for making a return with a Cinevistaas show.

The fans certainly can't wait and surely would love to see her back on-screen once again..

This article is majorly about her acting journey/experience in showbiz and people are bringing up about her personal life as they will care when they settle down in their families.

Anyway Jennifer also did one show I think maybe during/after KZK which she played the lead known as Sangam. The new promos of Behaydh look interesting will tune into it.

Jenny is really a superb actress. i loved her acting in SWC most. really a power-packed onscreen performance. she deserved all the awards for that show, her pairing with gautam was fresh and sheer delight to watch.
she was fabulous as riddhima also but by her entry show went downhill completely and never picked up again. i know how much i hated riddhima in her phase of show but cant deny fact she was brilliant potraying riddhima. and above all she is really a beautiful actress...it is a sheer delight to watch her onscreen.
