Her career trajectory began with modeling, leading to her film debut in the 2003 comedy 'Jhankaar Beats,' where her performance was noted for its natural charm and relatability in a portrayal of modern urban life. She subsequently appeared in films like 'Dil Maange More' (2004) and 'Ek Ajnabee' (2005), often playing roles that reflected the evolving, cosmopolitan Indian woman of the era.
