For her performance in the latter, Kaur received a nomination for the Best Supporting Actress Award for 2008. She made her acting debut in the Tamil and Kannada film industries, with S. A. Chandrasekhar's Nenjirukkum Varai and Bandhu Balaga , respectively. In 2010, she made a comeback in Tamil with the highly anticipated Unnaipol Oruvan , a remake of the 2008 Bollywood film, A Wednesday! , in which she played a small supporting role alongside Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal. Recently, she was nominated as a brand ambassador for the Miss Telangana event.
