This mantra reflects her grounded philosophy—balancing tenderness with fierce determination—resonating deeply in her versatile career.

She followed with standout roles in Mahanati (2018), 100% Kadhal (2019 Tamil debut), Jayeshbhai Jordaar (2022 Hindi with Ranveer Singh), Maharaj (2024), and the Netflix series Dabba Cartel (2025).

Her ongoing and upcoming projects in 2026 look promising, including the much-anticipated Rahu Ketu (releasing January 2026) and the Amazon series Bandwaale, alongside new films in the pipeline, showcasing her pan-Indian appeal.
