In the same year she made her acting debut in Airtel Presents Arunodoyer Tarun Dol, which earned her widespread recognition.

Between 2011 and 2018 she appeared as protagonist in over 180 single-episode television dramas. Among them, Arunodoyer Tarun Dol and Impossible Five gained particular acclaim. She also acted in television series including Ujan Ganger Naiya (produced by the BBC, seasons 1 and 2), Rod, Side Effects, Vanity Bag, Family Pack and Warisnama, and in short films such as The Day of Love, recognised at the Kinoproba Film Festival in Russia.

In 2020 Kathbirali became both a critical and commercial success, and in 2021 her portrayal of a rape survivor in Nabab LLB received significant critical praise.
