Career

Suryavanshi started her career at the age of seven as a child artist, debuting with the TV series Kya Hadsaa Kya Haqeeqat in 2002. When she was 14, Suryavanshi wrote, composed and sang a song, "I'm missing you", which she dedicated to her maternal grandmother.[11] Suryavanshi also played supporting roles in shows like Shakuntala (2009), Krisshna Arjun and Ruk Jaana Nahin (2011–12). Suryavanshi landed her big break with StarPlus soap opera Ek Veer Ki Ardaas...Veera (2012–15), where she played the title role. In 2015, at the age of 17, she was the youngest celebrity contestant to have participated in the reality show Bigg Boss.[12] She was evicted from the show on 7 December 2015.[13][14][15] Suryavanshi participated in the Indian sports reality television show Box Cricket League season I, played for Mumbai Warriors and season II, played for Mumbai Tigers.[16][17]

Suryavanshi debuted in Bollywood with two films, FryDay and Jalebi. Both films were released on 12 October 2018.[18] Suryavanshi acted in the lead role with Govinda in the film Rangeela Raja, which was released on 18 January 2019.[19]

Suryavanshi played the lead actress in the Telugu film Hippi, which was directed by Krishnan K.T. Nagarajan.[20] A writer for Firstpost.com, Hemanth Kumar, wrote that Suryavanshi, "is good in her role and she might be the only one who took her role far too seriously in the film. Right from her introduction scene to the climax, she's consistently good in terms of her body language and her attitude that the role required."[21] Her latest theatrical release Shivam Bhaje, a telugu mystical thriller released in theaters worldwide on 1 August 2024.[22]
