During her stint at Shakthi TV, she hosted Good Morning Sri Lanka, a morning talk show from 2015 to 2018 and from 2018 to 2019, she plied her trade as a newsreader in News First.
In 2019, she quit Shakthi TV and made a decision to enter the Indian Tamil television reality show Bigg Boss and she received the opportunity to enter the Star Vijay's Bigg Boss season 3.
It was only in 2019 that she made her maiden visit to the Indian offshore and she revealed within first three months since her arrival to India, she landed a role by getting an offer from the production unit of Bigg Boss to be roped in as one of the contestants of the show.
She appeared to have faced an impromptu face-to-face interview before finalising the offer to enter into the Bigg Boss house.

She gained publicity and widespread popularity from Tamil Nadu general audience while she also gained sympathy from the audience, especially considering the fact that she hailed from the minority Tamil community in Sri Lanka which faced the brunt of the Sri Lankan civil war and she was also praised for her pleasant positive attitude which she displ
ayed throughout the season.
However, she also received criticism and bashing from a set of audience after having developed a romantic interest with her fellow contestant Kavin, which also eventually prompted skyrocketing television rating points of Star Vijay and Bigg Boss show.

However, she had faced a major dilemma in the form of an opportunity cost over whether to stick with her mainstream media career aspirations or enter the state university considering the fact that the state university was a privilege to majority of the Sri Lankans, since it is a government sponsored once-in-a-lifetime free education system to the s
tudents, which only the top performing students are guaranteed based on their z-score after their exceptional academic performances in GCE Advanced Level Examination.
