Acting Career

Virti began her career as a child artist, appearing in advertisements for well-known brands such as Whirlpool, Kwality Walls, Clinic Plus Shampoo, Dettol Soap, Knorr Soup, Mobilla, and Colgate. She made her television debut in 2008 with the popular Colors TV show Jai Shri Krishna, portraying the role of young Radha. The show was later aired on the Nick Channel and has recently been dubbed and broadcast on Tamil and Bengali television channels, further expanding its reach.

In the same year, Virti made her Bollywood debut with Patiala House (2011), directed by Nikkhil Advani and starring Akshay Kumar and Anushka Sharma. She later gained recognition for her role as Tanu in the 2018 comedy-drama film Hope Aur Hum, alongside Naseeruddin Shah and Sonali Kulkarni. While working on the film, Virti faced challenges with certain pronunciations, but veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah helped her using a ‘Henry Higgins’ technique, a learning experience she found fascinating.

In 2020, Virti appeared in the Disney+ Hotstar web series Aarya, starring Sushmita Sen, Chandrachur Singh, and Sikandar Kher. She played Arundhati, Aarya’s teenage daughter, portraying the complexities of adolescence and the vulnerabilities of being drawn into questionable relationships.
