And she's really vibrant. She's really quirky. She knows how to get things done. She has her own ways. I love her. So, I connected with Avni straightaway, and, yeah, I'm excited to play her," referring to Kareena Kapoor’s character Geet in the 2007 hit Jab We Met.
Madan made her debut in the 2014 television romantic drama Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi. She then forayed into Bollywood with the 2018 film Pataakha directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, following which she worked in films like Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and Angrezi Medium.
