Her career began early. She made her screen debut as a child artist at just five years old, playing her mother's daughter on screen, and later appeared in the 1991 film Vishkanya . However, her commercial breakthrough came in 2001 with the low-budget sex comedy Style , which was a major box-office success and launched her into the limelight as a leading lady. She quickly followed this success with notable performances in Pritish Nandy's musical hit Jhankaar Beats (2003), the Malayalam horror film Ananthabhadram (2005), and a series of item numbers in films like Qayamat , James , and Heyy Babyy , which cemented her image as the "glamour goddess" of the early 2000s. She even appeared in the 2017 Indo-Chinese blockbuster Kung Fu Yoga , starring Jackie Chan, showcasing her appeal in international projects. Yet, even at the height of her film career, she was already grappling with a public image she found limiting. "I was not proud of being considered a glamour goddess in the way that the media was making it out to be," she reflected, revealing the tension between her professional roles and her personal identity.
