[edit] Career
She started her career with Rok Sako To Rok Lo in 2004, but her big break was Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na (2008) as the lead actor's girlfriend. Earlier she was part of the National Film Award-winning Bengali feature film Faltu and the highly unsuccessful Mumbai Salsa. In 2008, her Telugu debut film Siddu From Srikakulam released, following which her first Tamil film Muthirai got released. Both performed poorly at the box office. Notably, she had sung a song under the direction of Yuvan Shankar Raja for Muthirai.[1][2]
In September 2009 she signed to appear in a series of Onida television commercials. In 2011, she also appeared in an ad film for iBall brand of pen drvies. Her 2010 releases were the Telugu films Inkosaari and Shubhapradham. Her upcoming movies include the long-pending I Am 24 and the Walt Disney-produced superhero film Zokkomon, starring Darsheel Safar in the titular role.
