She and Ms. Cervi shared the Wella Prize, for their work in the latter film, at the 2002 Venice International

She has since appeared in over two dozen movies, including Oliver Parker‘s Fade to Black, opposite Danny Huston as Orson Welles. In 2009, she starred in the Hindi film Barah Aana, directed by Raja Menon.
In 2005, she released an album of self-penned songs entitled Don’t Be Shy, many of them performed in English, which was followed by a tour across Italy.
