Basu’s entry into Bollywood marked a shift in how leading ladies were framed in Hindi cinema, moving away from traditional archetypes toward characters defined by confidence and sensuality. She made her acting debut in Abbas-Mustan's thriller Ajnabee (2001), winning the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Her breakthrough came shortly after with Vikram Bhatt’s supernatural romance Raaz (2002), which established her commercial viability and earned her a Filmfare nomination for Best Actress.
