Trisha had originally aspired to be a forensic psychologist and had rejected the idea of pursuing acting because she wanted to finish her studies first. She also played Ayesha Takia’s friend in Falguni Pathak’s music video Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye, directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru. She was later approached by Indian film director Priyadarshan for an acting role in the Tamil film Lesa Lesa, which launched her professional acting career. She had a strict shooting schedule in college, which made it difficult for her to pursue her studies. She rewarded, however, by enrolling in summer school.
