She then appeared in the video, Shake It Daddy, when she was sixteen, which brought her to the attention of the movie industry, and a few film offers followed. She signed a contract for Socha Na Tha. However, there were delays in making Socha Na Tha so Taarzan released first and was therefore her "debut" film.

She earned critical acclaim for her performance in Nagesh Kukunoor's Dor with Taran Adarsh of Indiafm.com writing,". She accepted non-glamorous roles, which most actors don't do at the start of their career." Her latest release Wanted costarring Salman Khan has emerged as the biggest blockbuster of 2009.
