Ganguly began her acting career at a young age, appearing in her father’s 1985 film Saaheb. Her father is the film director Anil Ganguly. After making cameos in less well-received movies, Ganguly’s performance of Dr. Simran Chopra in the medical drama Sanjivani: A Medical Boon (2003–2005) marked the beginning of her professional breakthrough.
