In an interview with The Times of India, she recalled: "The makers of Kirik Party saw a picture of mine from the Clean & Clear Fresh Face of India 2014 competition — one in which I was dancing during the college round — and approached me to act in the film. So, it really got things going. I always wanted to be in films." [6] She was cast as Saanvi Joseph, a college-goer, and the love interest of Karna (played by Rakshit Shetty).
