Parikh rose to fame in the StarPlus’s romantic drama Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Ek Baar Phir (2013-2015) paired opposite Avinash Sachdev, in which she portrayed Aastha Agnihotri, a strong progressive woman who aims to drive toward change by fighting against domestic violence to give recognition to women in her family. Parikh’s work in the series gained her wide recognition in Turkey. Speaking about her experience in this show, Parikh stated that it was her turning point in her career since she was offered future roles because of her recognition as Aastha.
In 2017, Parikh starred in the first Indian television spin-off series on StarPlus, Dil Boley Oberoi (2017) portraying Gauri Kumari Sharma opposite Kunal Jaisingh. This series was later merged with StarPlus’s Ishqbaaaz in which Parikh continued her portrayal of Gauri in the drama series Ishqbaaaz (2017-2018).

In 2019, Parikh played her first anti-heroine role in the StarPlus’s thriller series Ek Bhram…Sarvagun Sampanna (2019) opposite Zain Imam, in which she played Janhvi Mittal, a woman who masks her identity (later revealed as Pooja Sharma) to deceive the Mittal family. Janhvi is fueled by revenge to destroy the family with her hidden ambition. Speaking about why she chose to portray this role, Parikh says “I always had this thing in my mind that I wanted to do something unlike my other roles. I wanted to do something challenging for sure. Ek Bhram — Sarvagun Sampanna has everything I was looking for.” Parikh claims that she started to audition for this while she was shooting for Ishqbaaaz. When she learned more about her character, she initially refused to take up the role, but the producers were convinced that she can portray Janhvi Mittal.
