The granddaughter of [[Tamil Malaysians|Malaysian Tamil]] actor [[Ravichandran (Tamil actor)|Ravichandran]], Tanya was interested in a career in films from a young age after seeing her grandfather's work. Her mother, Lavanya Sriram, is a classical dancer and thus trained both Tanya and her sister Apparajitha in Bharathanatyam, with the pair regularly participating in recitals in Chennai during their teenage years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/margazhi-dancers-in-pictures/article5486387.ece|title=Margazhi dancers in pictures|date=21 December 2013|publisher=|access-date=21 January 2018|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref> Before her entry into the film industry, she completed a [[Bachelor of Commerce]] degree at [[M.O.P.

Mysskin requested her to change her stage name from Abbirami to Tanya for her acting career, which she agreed with. The film was later postponed to allow Mysskin to complete the production of ''[[Thupparivaalan]]'' (2017).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/maitreya-is-mysskin-s-new-hero-imagegallery-kollywood-qg2ppRebajgdd.html|title=Maitreya is Mysskin's new hero|publisher=|access-date=21 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/mysskins-next-film-with-newcomers-maithreyan-and-tanya-granddaughter-of-ravichandran-tamil-news-161516.html|title=Important details of Mysskin's next after 'Thupparivalan' - Tamil Movie News - IndiaGlitz.com|publisher=|access-date=21 January 2018}}</ref> Hearing that Tanya had been selected for a film by Mysskin, director [[Radha Mohan]] chose to screen test and then sign on the actress to appear in ''[[Brindavanam (2017 film)|Brindavanam]]'' (2017) during August 2016. Tanya's first release was however ''[[Balle Vellaiyathevaa]]'' (2016), a rural comedy drama co-starring [[M.

The film opened to mixed reviews in December 2016, with critics noting that Tanya "has nothing to do" and "sleepwalks through the role".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/balle-vellaiya-thevaa/balle-vellaiya-thevaa-review-1.html|title=Balle Vellaiya Thevaa (aka) Balle Vellaiya Theva review|website=Behindwoods|access-date=21 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/balle-vellaiyathevaa-review-below-average-review-tamil-qmxrrNifbdggf.html|title=Review : Balle Vellaiyathevaa review-Below Average (2016)|website=www.sify.com|access-date=21 January 2018}}</ref><br />

Her next film, the comedy drama ''Brindavanam'' was released to positive reviews in May 2017.

Praising her performance, a critic from [[The Hindu]] wrote Tanya "walks away with a wonderful performance in the role of Sandhya" and that "the director deserves appreciation for his sketch of the lead female character; someone who is bold, daring and can make individual choices".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/brindavanam-celebrating-lifes-moments/article18585218.ece|title=Brindavanam: Celebrating life's moments|first=Chitradeepa|last=Anantharam|date=26 May 2017|publisher=|access-date=21 January 2018|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref> Likewise, a reviewer from [[The Hindustan Times]] wrote Tanya "is a talent to watch out for and she’s in this for the long haul" and a critic from [[The New Indian Express]] labelled her performance as "thoroughly effervescent".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2017/may/26/brindavanam-review-a-warm-fuzzy-film-that-works-for-the-most-part-1609430.html|title=Brindavanam review: A warm, fuzzy film that works for the most part|publisher=|access-date=21 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/movie-reviews/brindavanam-movie-review-director-radha-mohan-s-film-is-heartwarming-and-funny/story-h607p9Lx3s8H7xnjt64BYK.html|title=Brindavanam movie review: Director Radha Mohan's film is heartwarming and funny|date=26 May 2017|publisher=|access-date=21 January 2018}}</ref> Tanya then featured in ''[[Karuppan]]'' (2017), a rural drama featuring her alongside [[Vijay Sethupathi]] and [[Bobby Simha]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/kollywood/110417/promising-year-ahead-for-tanya.html|title=Promising year ahead for Tanya|date=11 April 2017|publisher=|access-date=21 January 2018}}</ref><br />
