She made her television debut in the highly popular Balaji Telefilms production Kasautii Zindagii Kay (Star Plus, 2001–2008), playing Nishtha — a domestic worker in the Basu household — a role she maintained for several years of the serial's run and for which she became widely recognised.

She was also a participant in the reality show Khatro ke Khiladi (Season 1). In November 2006, she entered Bigg Boss Season 1 on Sony TV. She was the first housemate to be evicted from Bigg Boss Season 1, leaving in Week 1 (Day 6), finishing fourteenth overall. In 2018, she married Ramneek Sharma; they later announced a divorce.
