Amrita's on-screen career started very young. At age four she appeared in a local footwear advertisement in Kerala, and during her childhood she became a familiar face in advertising, featuring in more than fifty commercials for well-known brands and serving as the face of Lifebuoy soap packaging for over two years.

Her television break came as host of the children’s show Fox Kids on Star Plus, a role she held from 1999 to 2004 and through which she gained notable recognition among younger audiences.

Amrita made her film debut as a child artist in the 2001 film Tum Bin, appearing in a role that drew positive attention. In her mid-teens she took on a lead project in Malayalam cinema, starring in Manjupoloru Penkutty directed by Kamal; that performance earned her a state nomination related to the National Awards. In 2006 she appeared in Sooraj Barjatya’s Vivaah as the character Choti, a part that is frequently cited as a defining moment in her career and brought further nominations for supporting role recognition. Subsequent film credits include Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi (2008), We Are Family (2010) and Na Jane Kabse (2011).

She headlined the Sony Pal series Ek Rishta Aisa Bhi in 2014 and was last reported onscreen in 2018 in the TV show Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, portraying the character Jasleen. Beyond acting, she has moved into directing short films, a creative expansion she has discussed in interviews.
