Glamour of the celluloid motivated her to take a crash course in acting, she was trained by Aasha Chandra for three months. Fame and glamour could not elude her too long when in 2005 noted film director Anurag Basu discovered her and offered her an important role in the film Gangster. The film released in 2006 and was appreciated by both the critics as well as by the public.
