After graduating, Pandiyan began her career as a dancer in
ballet and
salsa, then shifted to theatre acting in 2015. She was also the head director of operations in A&P Groups, a film distribution company owned by her father and worked for films such as
Savaale Samaali (2015) while simultaneously running her own distribution company in Singapore. Pandiyan initially did not receive many film offers by directors at the start of her appearance in the industry due to
discrimination towards her skin color and her being underweight. She even declined others because she felt she did not have meaty roles in them; during auditions, she always introduced herself simply by her first name to avoid the appearance of
nepotism as Arun Pandiyan's daughter. Pandiyan was approached by director Harish Ram offering her a lead role in the film
Thumbaa (2019); she accepted, making her debut film as an actress in
Tamil cinema. Pandian later acted in
Anbirkiniyal (2021), a remake of the
Malayalam film
Helen (2019), as the main character alongside her father. She also acted in the comedy miniseries
Postman which was released on
ZEE5. Pandian also won the
Super daughter award by
Femina which was awarded to her by her father in 2019 after her debut film appearance in
Thumbaa. In 2023, she appeared in
Kannagi, and the following year in
Blue Star, and the much-delayed
Konjam Pesinaal Yenna. ==Personal life==
