She made her Hindi film debut with Hum Se Jahan, which was never released on DVD and only in theatres, in 2008.[7] However she got noticed in director Ashutosh Gowarikar's Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey for which she received a "Best Breakthrough Performance – Female" nomination from Stardust Awards (2011).[8][9][10][11][12] She acted in Abhijeet Sengupta's Do Aur Do Paanch, which did not release.
