Established television actress (1999–2014)[edit | edit source]

After her television debut in 1998 with Albela Sur Mela, Tanwar rose to fame with Ekta Kapoor's Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii (2000–2008).[8] The series based on joint family, saw her portray Parvati Agarwal opposite Kiran Karmarkar.[9] The series was a major success and earned her recognition.

Film and web expansion (2015–present)[edit | edit source]

In 2015, Tanwar made her Marathi film debut with Katyar Kaljat Ghusali, which was a critical and commercial success.[24][25]

Tanwar returned to Hindi films with Dangal (2016), where she portrayed Daya Kaur, wife of former wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat opposite Aamir Khan.[26] Anupama Chopra said in her review that Tanwar provides "strong support" to the story.[27] While, Sukanya Verma found her to be terrific.[28] The film was a major commercial success with an estimated gross of ₹2,000 crore and became the highest-grossing Indian film ever.[29][30]

In 2017, Tanwar made her web debut with Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat, playing a doctor opposite Ram Kapoor.[31] In 2018, she returned to television with Tyohaar Ki Thaali.[32] Tanwar then went onto play a priest's wife opposite Sunny Deol in Mohalla Assi (2018), a police officer's wife opposite Manoj Bajpayee in Dial 100 (2021) and Jayachandra's wife opposite Ashutosh Rana in Samrat Prithviraj (2022).[33][34][35] In 2019, she appeared in two web series: The Final Call as an air controller officer and M.O.M. - Mission Over Mars as a scientist.[36]

In 2024, Tanwar played a coaching institute teacher in the film Sharmajee Ki Beti.[40] Monika Rawal Kukreja called her performance "earnest" and added, "She brings the perfect balance while emoting strength and vulnerability".[41] In 2025, Tanwar played a royal queen in the series The Royals.[42] Pallavi Keswani of The Hindu stated that she brings more to the table despite limited screentime.[43]
