She joined the INC's student wing, National Students' Union of India (NSUI), in college and became the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) President in 1995. She fought her first election on a Congress ticket in the 2003 Delhi Assembly polls but lost to the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Madan Lal Khurana from the Moti Nagar constituency.
