Career
Her first advertisement was directed by Prahlad Kakkar. Later more commercial ads came her way. Her television career began when she was cast in the role of Juhi in the Star Plus show Shagun.[3]
As a television actress Gulati has played a variety of contrasting roles ranging from a girl who lost her parents and was ill-treated by her aunts in Kyun Hota Hai Pyarrr to a spoilt fashionable, rich girl with a golden heart Tiya Ahuja in Remix and her negative role of Sonia in Amber Dhara. In 2008, she joined Dill Mill Gayye as a new medical intern.
Post Shagun she went on to play a tomboy Tara in the youth show Kyun Hota Hai Pyarrr. She had her first anchoring experience when she hosted the show Pardey Ke Peechey again on Star Plus which looked into the personal lives of the television stars. She also portrayed a grey shaded character in Rose Audio Visuals's Lipstick on Zee TV. She went on to a lead role in Remix, which debuted on 1 November 2004 on Star One. It was one of the first shows to be launched on the then newly launched channel. She was the first one to be cast and was finalized to play one of the leads in the show. She was cast as Tiya Ahuja though she was offered a chance to play the other lead Anvesha instead. She took voice modulation training to change her voice to suit Tia's personality. She received positive critical reviews for her portrayal of the 16-year-old girl in Remix. Her work with the then debutant actor Karan Wahi who played Ranveer Sisodia in the show was also very well received.
Post Remix she took up cameo roles in various shows such as Aek Chahbi...Hai Padoss Mein , Mann Mein Hain Vishwas and Durgesh Nandinii. She took up a negative role in the Sony Entertainment Television's show Amber Dhara. Her next project was a sitcom about the battle of sexes called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which aired on the channel Bindass, in which she played the role of Riya, the business director at an advertising agency who had no time for men or love. Her clash and interaction with her colleague Rohan played by Akshay Dogra formed the crux of the show. It showcased the battle between a feminist and a chauvinist.[4]
She also anchored Zara Nachke Dikha, a reality dance show, alongside Karan Singh Grover with whom she again worked with when she entered the medical based drama Dill Mill Gayye as an intern Dr. Nikita Malhotra.
