Paoli had come into the focus after the success of Kaalbela directed by Gautam Ghose. She won accolades for her performance. She was selected for a role in Italo Spinelli's film 'Choli Ke Peeche' after Shahana Goswami and Nandana Sen backed out of the project citing excess of nudity involved. Paoli was chosen from a long list of 28 probables, and reportedly said that she has no inhibitions in shedding clothes if a role demands it. Paoli made her debut with the Bengali film Agnipariksha in 2006 and since then has done quite a few films. She was also featured in much talked about Shob Charitro Kalponik, Bipasha Basu's debut Bengali film directed by Rituparno Ghosh.
Italian director Italo Spinelli has chosen Paoli to play a tribal woman in his forthcoming film Choli Ke Peechhe, based on a short story by Mahasweta Devi.
