==Career==
She worked in advertising for 14 years, before she was introduced to [[Aditya Chopra]] by Rekha Nigam, who is dialogue writer of ''[[Parineeta (2005 film)|Parineeta]]'' and ''[[Laaga Chunari Mein Daag]]'', thus starting her film career as a lyricist and screenwriter with Yash Raj Films. She then worked with [[Dharma Productions]] as a lyricist and dialogue writer. Followed by Nadiadwala Grandson Films as a dialogue writer on one project. And as a dialogue writer and lyricist on the second project.

She has also worked with Nikhil Advani as a dialogue writer and lyricist. She then went back to working again with YRF but under their banner of Y films for two films. After a hiatus she worked with Phantom films. She is currently directing films for Clean Slate Filmz.
Her first film ''[[Bulbbul]]'' has been released as a Netflix Original on the 24th June 2020 and met with positive views from both the audience and critics regarding its stand on feminism, visual effects, background music and performance of lead actress [[Tripti Dimri]] but was criticised for its short length and predictable plot. Bulbbul is set in a backdrop of 1880's Bengal presidency and revolves around a child-bride plus her journey from innocence to strength.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-06-28|title=Anvita Dutt on why Bulbbul is a feminist “fairy tale”|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/express-sunday-eye/anvita-dutt-on-why-bulbbul-is-a-feminist-fairy-tale-6479367/|access-date=2021-01-11|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-07-15|title=Bulbbul A Feminist Fable?
