In Josh, released in 2000, she played Shah Rukh Khan’s girlfriend and was praised for her role.

Despite a good start, Priya stepped away from the limelight just as her career was taking off. Her last film was Bhairavi in 2006. Reports suggest that a fake news report played a major role in her decision to leave the industry.
According to Aaj Tak, a viral story claimed she was involved in a charity event at a gurdwara where some controversy occurred while distributing food to underprivileged children. The false report sparked unwanted attention, and Priya reportedly distanced herself from Bollywood afterward.
