During her studies, she also worked as the PR, sales and marketing manager of Hint Lounge and Club in Bangalore.[2] After gaining an interest in modelling, Wilson competed for the Miss India South 2011 title in late 2010, and was awarded the HICC Femina Miss South Beautiful Smile award during the competition.[3][4] Wilson appeared in her first acting role in Tamil film Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 (2017), where she portrayed the personal assistant of the businesswoman played by Kajol.[5][6]
In mid-2017, Wilson received widespread media attention in Tamil Nadu after signing on to appear on the Tamil reality TV show, Bigg Boss (Tamil) - Season 1, hosted by Kamal Haasan.
