She later on moved south by acting in a Malayalam film with Mammootty in the lead role, and then to the Tamil movie industry and Telugu movie industry where she established herself as a bankable actress. Her notable films include Thulladha Manamum Thullum opposite vijay, and Kannathil Muthamittal opposite Madhavan.

Personal life
Her younger sister, Monal tried her hand at acting in the Tamil and Malayalam film industries and acted in a few films with Kunal, Vijay and others. Sadly, her career never took off like Simran's and Monal committed suicide by hanging herself. Immediately after the suicide, Simran called for a press conference and accused fellow actress Mumtaj and others of having instigated the suicide. Nothing came out of the police investigation.
Simran married her longtime friend Deepak Bagga on December 2nd, 2003. She gave birth to a boy named Adheep on June 11, 2005. Simran currently resides in Delhi.
