She completed her schooling at Vidya Mandir Senior Secondary School, Chennai, and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Communication Design from ICAT Design and Media College, Chennai.

From her teenage years Varshini showed an interest in visual arts and photography. She trained as a certified make-up artist and for a period ran a small food business: in March 2021 she launched a bakery called Zookies by ZaZa, producing items such as brownies and cookies.

She made her television debut in 2022 on the Sun TV serial Kannana Kanne, playing Inspector Poonguzhali, and earlier appeared on television as a contestant on the Star Vijay reality show Ready Steady Po in 2018. She has worked in advertisements and in Tamil films, with credits that include Lara and Varamey Saabam. Her on-screen work is complemented by activity across social platforms where she posts fitness content, vlogs and lifestyle material.

Fitness and public image have become important parts of her career.

She also participates in adventure activities such as jet skiing and lists traveling and vlogging among her hobbies.
