Pallavi had to take a break in her career as she expanded her family and had to take care of her kids who were very young back then. As she resumed her career, the actress mentioned how she had to struggle in getting roles.  

Among the many shows, she was also considered for Ishqbaaaz, one of the most popular shows on Star Plus which featured Surbhi Chandna and Nakuul Mehta in the leading roles. The serial also had a spin off titled Dil Boley Oberoi.

Pallavi was considered to be a part of Ishqbaaaz in the role of Nakuul Mehta’s mother, however, they needed the character to look a little mature and actress Nikita Anand eventually played the part.

Talking about the kind of characters she has played, in an earlier interaction, she shared, “I have played negative characters and I have received a lot of hate comments for it too and that is not only on-screen but in real life too.” (Also Read: Pallavi S Rao on being part of Oayamat Se Qayamat Tak: This show gave me a chance to explore myself)
