Talking about Sanaya Irani's career so far, the pretty actress made her acting debut with the TV show Left Right Left in 2007. But she rose to fame with the show Miley Jab Hum Tum (2008-2010).

In 2011, she starred alongside Barun Sobti in the show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? The daily soap became one of the most-watched shows on television.

In 2013, Sanaya Irani also starred in Rangrasiya, opposite Ashish Sharma. Inspired by Shakespeare’s Othello, the show was shot in the same location of Rajasthan where Aamir Khan's Sarfarosh was shot.

In 2017, Sanaya Irani along with her husband-actor Mohit Sehgal participated in the celebrity dance reality show Nach Baliye - Season 8. The couple emerged as the second runner-ups of the season.

"We were being offered 'Nach Baliye' since last four or five years, but due to work commitments, we were not able to become a part of it. I don't want to do two things together. This time also there were a few date issues. However, somehow we managed to make time and decided to do this show," said Sanaya Irani.

In 2018, Sanaya Irani made her web debut with the web series Zindabad. She was seen playing the role of a RAW agent in the show, which also featured Vikram Bhatt.

Though Sanaya Irani had already made her Bollywood debut with Aamir Khan and Kajol's Fanaa (2006), where she played one of Kajol's friends, it wouldn't be wrong to say that it was a blink-and-miss role. Nevertheless, her recent film Ghost, directed by Vikram Bhatt, marked Sanaya's Bollywood outing as the lead actress.

Talking about working with Vikram Bhatt, Sanaya said, "I was working with Vikram on a web series, where he was my co-actor, he must have thought at that time my work was good. I was thinking about the story of Ghost first, I wanted to do something interesting. I found it very interesting since it was based on a real incident."

Ghost released on October 18, 2019, in cinemas. Sanaya Irani played a lawyer in the film.

Here's wishing Sanaya a very happy birthday!
