D'Cruz was born to a Catholic father and Muslim mother in Mahim, Mumbai on 1 November 1987. Her family moved to Parra, Goa, where her parents had bought a house, when she was 10 years old.
During that time, the manager of the hotel her mother was working in, suggested that she had a vibrant smile and should start modelling and fixed a meeting with Marc Robinson. Though initially reluctant, she was persuaded and her first portfolio was created in January 2003, which she described as a "disaster".
She began gaining notice through photo shoots and ramp shows and her second portfolio was set up the following year, which landed her three advertisements from Electrolux, Emami Talc and Fair & Lovely. The latter, in particular, which was directed by Rakesh Roshan, gave her exposure and brought in several offers for acting in feature films.
She was in a relationship with Andrew Kneebone, an Australian photographer. It was rumored that they both had already been married. On 28 August 2019, Indian media aired the news that the couple have broken up.
D'Cruz's first release of 2018 Raid, opened to positive critical and commercial feedback. After six years hiatus, she signed a Telugu film Amar Akbar Anthony starring opposite her frequent co-star Ravi Teja. Released amid good expectations the film opened with negative reviews and failed at the box office.
