Ranta made her acting debut in 2020 with Qurbaan Hua, where she played Chahat Baig Bhatt Dhyani opposite Karan Jotwani. The series ended in 2021.[4][5] Following this, she made her web debut with the romantic drama web series Aadha Ishq, where she played Rene Bhardwaj opposite Darsheel Safary and Gaurav Arora.[6] In her review for Times of India, Archika Khurana praised her performance but found her character to be "cliched" and "confusing".[7]

Ranta made her film debut in 2024, with Laapataa Ladies, where she played a swapped bride Jaya / Pushpa. The film was released in India in 2024.[8][9] Saibal Chatterjee termed her a "show-stealer", while Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express noted, "The more worldly-wise yet not-as-independent-as-she-would-like-to-be Ranta, who has the more difficult role to pull off, wins the day."[10][11] In the same year, she played Shama, a courtesan's daughter, in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's series Heeramandi.[12] Bollywood Hungama stated that Ranta doesn't have "much to do".[13]
