In 2016, she made cameo appearances in Soul Reaper and Hero. She also had filmed other television series such as I Want to Be a Star, The Dream Job and The Truth Seekers.
In 2017, she gained her first female lead in Home Truly and also continued with the sequel in 118 II. She gained her first nomination as one of the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes.
In 2018, she is involved in dramas such as 118 Reunion, Fifty & Fabulous, 29th February, a toggle original series, Love At Cavenagh Bridge and also long running drama series, Jalan Jalan.
In Star Awards 2021, she obtained her first Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes award.[10]
