## Career[edit]

### Acting[edit]

Trivedi started acting at a very young age. As a child artist, she has acted in Hindi serials like Hamrahi and Zee Horror Show in small cameo roles. In 1994, she acted in Prakash Jha's telefilm Didi which focused on the education of female children in rural areas. After taking a gap for studies in class 10th and 12th, Trivedi returned to acting as a teenager and did Gujarati theatre for few years.

She got her first break for a small role in a daily soap Babul Ki Duwayen Leti Jaa which aired on Zee TV. Thereafter, she did cameos and supporting roles in few shows like Dil Chahata Hai on Sony SAB as Ragini Mathur and Kumkum – Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan as Vrinda. She also acted in the comedy sitcom Khichdi.

Later in 2005, Trivedi auditioned for Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai and won the lead role of Kittu. She played the role of a young extrovert 20-something young woman Kituu who takes the plunge to face the professional world. The show ran for two years and ended in March 2007.[4]

After that, she worked in various other Hindi serials like Zaara, Jaane Kya Baat Hui and Bajega Band Baaja.[5]

In 2010, Trivedi acted in SAB TV's comedy sitcom Papad Pol opposite Swapnil Joshi. She became popular for her role of Kokila in the show[6] for which she was nominated at the Indian Telly Awards in the category for Best Actress in a Comic Role. Papad Pol ended on 13, September 2011.[7]

Trivedi also portrayed the role of Tulika in SAB TV's comedy serial Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo.[8] The show ended on 6 January 2012 after successfully running for 2 years. Trivedi also appeared as a guest in the dance class show Nachle Ve with Saroj Khan hosted by Saroj Khan, on 21 December 2011.[7]

Since 2012, Trivedi kept a distance from television, spending time with her family, until she made a comeback in July 2013 with Zee TV's horror show Fear Files: Darr Ki Sacchi Tasvirein.[9] She did an episodic role in the show. She later entered in Sony TV's popular court room drama Adaalat where she played the role of a public prosecutor.[10] She acted as mother in Tedi Medi Family. She also worked with SAB TV as Rupal (Chakudi) in their TV show Saat Phero Ki Hera Pherie.

Since the second film of the series, her brother, Karan Trivedi took over as the second Hindi dubbing voice for Harry Potter, until it was passed to Rajesh Kava after the fifth film. Since then, she has lent voices in various animated and live-action films like The Incredibles and Barbie Mariposa. She has dubbed for some Gujarati films also.
