Charhi appeared in the Israeli TV series ''
Ha-Masa'it in 2002 and gained further attention after a nomination by the Israeli Film Academy (Ophir Award) for her role in the 2004 film Turn Left at the End of the World (Sof Ha'Olam Smola''). She was invited to the
Israel Film Festival in Los Angeles in 2006, and afterwards started pursuing a career in Hollywood. Charhi has since become known for her roles in the French mini TV series
Revivre, and the films,
Fair Game (2010) and
A Late Quartet (2012) in which she played the jogger and flamenco dancing girlfriend of
Philip Seymour Hoffman. As a singer she has released the singles "Od Tzohorayim" and "Al Tafsik" which have been played on radio in Israel. In November 2020, Charhi's second Persian album, titled
Zan (meaning "woman"), was released on Glitterbeat Records in collaboration with
Raman Loveworld and some other Iranian artists. Some artists collaborated anonymously, and some have joined the project publicly, despite the risks involved in collaborating with an Israeli artist. The first release from the album was "Injah". In 2020, she played Yael Kadosh, an Israeli
Mossad agent in the Israeli espionage television series
Tehran (), written by Zonder and Omri Shenhar and directed by Daniel Syrkin. The series is about the
Iran–Israel proxy conflict; and it premiered in Israel on 22 June 2020 and on 25 September 2020 internationally on
Apple TV+. In 2023, she was offered a role in
Roland Emmerich's historical drama series,
Those About to Die. She ultimately had to turn the role down due to tour commitments with her music career. In June 2025, Charhi said that her international music career had faced setbacks since the
October 7 attacks. Three days after the attacks, most of her planned UK concerts were cancelled. Her London-based record label delayed the release of her sixth studio album and asked her to take a pro-Palestine political stance on social media. Charhi subsequently moved to another label. She was a songwriter for the 2025 film,
Reading Lolita in Tehran, directed by
Eran Riklis and based on the Iranian
memoir of the same name by
Azar Nafisi. She also stars in the 2025
