In 2025, Kapoor had her first theatrical release opposite Junaid Khan in the romantic comedy Loveyapa, a remake of the Tamil film Love Today (2022).[13][14] As it was her third filming experience, Kapoor stated that she felt significantly more confident in her abilities compared to her first project.[15] Vineeta Kumar of India Today wrote that after a poor debut, Kapoor "continues to disappoint" and criticised her Hindi diction.[16] Conversely, News18's Titas Chowdhury took note of her improvement from The Archies and thought that she "impresses particularly in the emotionally heavier scenes".[17] It emerged as a box-office bomb.[18] She next starred in Dharmatic Entertainment's romantic comedy Nadaaniyan opposite debutant Ibrahim Ali Khan, for Netflix.[19][20] The film was panned by critics.[21] In a scathing review for Firstpost, Lachmi Deb Roy wrote that Kapoor's "expressionless face and frozen smile" failed to make an impact once again.[22] Additionally, reviewers for India Today and WION were disappointed with the chemistry between her and Khan.[23][24]
