Metro (2007), and Fashion (2008), for which she won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Ranaut's breakthrough came with Krrish 3 (2013), one of the highest-grossing Indian films, followed by consecutive National Film Awards for Best Actress in Queen (2014) and Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015).

In 2025, she appeared in her second directorial effort, Emergency, a biographical drama where she played Indira Gandhi.
In 2020, the Government of India honoured her with the Padma Shri, the country's fourth-highest civilian award. That same year, she launched Manikarnika Films, her production company, where she works as director and producer. She has been featured six times in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list. Since June 2024, Ranaut has served as Member of Parliament for Mandi in the Lok Sabha. An Aries born under Life Path 5, she is known for candid social-media presence and outspoken views supporting right-wing ideologies and the Bharatiya Janata Party, though her opinions and personal conflicts have generated significant controversy.
