She has previously made appearances on television in programs like Qurbaan Hua and Aadha Ishq. Pratibha Ranta, who was born in Shimla, stated that she related a lot to the character in terms of her own life experience.

"Acting has always been my dream job. When I was younger, I used to fantasize about it, but nobody understood me. They could not relate to this because there is nothing similar in Shimla, however, in Mumbai, it is common to see individuals in your immediate vicinity going on photo shoots. I was determined to take the risk, even though my family was hesitant and scared about sending me to Mumbai," she told Press Trust of India. 

More recently, she was also seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi as Shama, courtesan Sanjeeda Sheikh's daughter.
