Kansara's first audition after leaving her job led her to appear in season two of the period drama
Bridgerton for
Netflix as Miss Eaton. Shortly afterward she appeared in another Netflix series,
The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself. In the summer of 2022, Kansara was named a
Screen International Star of Tomorrow. Kansara next played the lead role of Ria Khan in the British action comedy film
Polite Society, directed by
Nida Manzoor. Following the premiere of
Polite Society at the
Sundance Film Festival, Peter Debruge, writing in
Variety, said that she was “a natural who, believe it or not, has never had a lead role till now” who in the role of the culturally straight-jacketed wannabe stunt woman “plays with deliciously exaggerated indignance”. Praise also came from Adrian Horton writing in
The Guardian who described her as a “delightful newcomer”, and Chase Hutchinson for
Collider who says Kansara “already in her relatively short career, has all the makings of a star. She can fully dive into the moments of silly slapstick just as she does the more nuanced emotional beats about trying to find your way in the world.” Manzoor jokingly referred to Kansara as “the next
Tom Cruise... She did so many of her own stunts.” When asked about this comparison Kansara told
The Guardian, “I feel very lucky knowing her, working with her; for her to call me [that] is pretty cool. Tom Cruise, step aside!” For her role in the film, Kansara was nominated in the
Breakthrough Performance category at the 2023
British Independent Film Awards. In 2025, she appeared in
BBC One historical drama
Dope Girls. In July 2025, she joined the cast of Apple TV+ series
Star City. ==Filmography==
