Pandey played the lead role of Pakhi Parekh in the 2019 TV serial Hamari Bahu Silk, where she played the role of a voice artist who dubs for an actress who stars in a number of sensual films but has a hoarse voice in real life.[9] In 2020, she and the other actors on the show complained that they had not received their payment dues, and that she was getting asked by her landlord to leave for not paying rent.[10] There were also rumours that she had attempted to kill herself[11] but she soon refuted, saying her mother's statement was misunderstood.[12] The issue concerning her payment dues was eventually resolved in 2021.[13]
