Shraddha made her Bollywood debut in 2010 with Teen Patti, after being spotted by producer Ambika Hinduja on Facebook.
She starred with Amitabh Bachchan, Ben Kingsley and R Madhavan in the film. Shradhha was appreciated for her role of a college girl in the film and also won a Filmfare nomination for Best Female Debut but Teen Patti failed to create a mark at the box office. -

Shraddha took Bollywood by storm with Mohit Suri's romantic film Aashiqui 2 in 2013, a sequel of sorts to the 1990 blockbuster hit Aashiqui. History repeated itself and Aashiqui 2 was a superhit. Shraddha received several nominations in the Best Actress category, including one at the Filmfare Awards for her role of a small-town singer Aarohi Keshav Shirke, who rises to be a successful playback singer in the film industry. Film critic Anupama Chopra called Shraddha a "real triumph".

She was next seen as a journalist in director Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Shraddha played the female lead opposite actor Shahid Kapoor in the film.

In 2016, Sharddha appeared in two films Baaghi with Tiger Shroff and Rock On 2 with Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli. Bit films did mediocre business.
