Choudry launched her public career as a VJ and performer. While living in the U.K. she worked as a VJ for Zee UK and later became widely known in India after hosting MTV Loveline in 2002.

Building on that momentum, she curated a set of twelve classic songs a year later, drawing on an extensive listening and selection process. Her work in music continued alongside commercial performances for major brands and corporate clients.
