Gracy Singh was born on 20th July, 1980 in New Delhi, India. She is a native of Punjab and her family was a simple and traditional Punjabi family.
Right from her schooling days she was very fond dancing and acting. She liked dancing so much that during her school vacations she would take Bharatnatyam lessons.
Once her schooling was completed in the middle half of the 1990’s she became a part of a dance group named "Planets" and also started giving stage performances. Her life was in the fast lane and she juggled her time between dance performances, studying and also traveled to the metropolis city of Mumbai for some modeling assignments, dance shows and films.
If this was not enough then when she was offered to act in a television serial she decided to try that as well. Her audition for starring in TV serial “Amanat” was successful. She did full justice to her role as Dinki in “Amanat” and that brought her a lot of popularity and recognition. That recognition converted into a small break for her in Bollywood films. Though she acted in films like “Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain” and “Hu Tu Tu” but these roles were really inconsequential and the failures of these two movies cannot be attributed to her as she had no chance to turn the direction of the movie’s fate.
However she kept acting in the serial “Amanat” and was notice by director Ashutosh Gowarikar who was looking to cast a fresh face in his upcoming movie “Lagan”. He called her up for an audition and during the audition he was impressed by her gentleness and her subtle voice. He gave her the role of “Gauri” and the rest is as they say – history. The movie was a blockbuster. Since it was her first full length Bollywood movie, the movie qualified as being her debut movie. She won the Best Female Debutant Award at the Zee Cine Awards in 2001. The movie though had many more landmarks to achieve and “Lagan” which was produced by Aamir Khan went all the way to being nominated for the Oscars in the Best Foreign Film category. Her charm, simplicity and beautiful eyes made her one of the most promising new actresses of Bollywood.
In 2003 she had three releases namely “Gangajaal”, “Armaan” and “Munna Bhai MBBS”. “Munna Bhai MBBS” proved to be the biggest hit of that year and Gracy played to role of a budding doctor doing her internship at a medical college where her father is the dean. But of the other two “Gangajaal” was a decent success and “Armaan” went unnoticed.
Gracy consider: "All power belongs to God, the one and only. There is no other power on the planet or beyond. All of us are his creation. The lesson that I have learnt from experience is that if you place matters in Gods hands with complete trust, things work out in the best way possible. Believing in God every second of our lives and remembering him is as vital for survival as breathing".
She says: "My philosophy in life is that if you want to feel truly rich and successful, count the things you can't buy with money".
