He immediately signed her as one of his five leading ladies in his film Calendar Girls.[9][10] The movie got released on 25 September 2015.

Singh, while describing her performance in Chakravyuh said "My role in Chakravyuh was layered and I tried to retain the raw intensity it needed."[15]

In Runaway Lugai, a gripping and entertaining drama series, Singh's performance as the bold, small town runaway bride was not only critically acclaimed but was also extremely well received by the viewers.[16] Singh, in an interview remarked "There was this sense of purpose and adrenaline pulsing through me, and I was mentally cheering on my character who so bravely decided to make an unconventional choice."[17]
