Tejaswi entered the world of Television after winning a beauty pageant organised in her college.

She was just 18 years old when she was signed as the positive lead of Life ok's show 26/12 followed by 26/13. After this there was no looking back. Soon she was signed as the positive lead of Color's show Sanskar Dharohar Apno Ki Season-2. Currently she is playing the character of Ragini in SwaRagini.

TEJASWI'S debut show was 2612 on Life OK.  She also worked in its sequel 2613.

She played the protagonist Rashmi Bhargava, a primary school teacher whose world turns upside down when her family becomes the victim of a terrorist plan. 26/12 was followed by 26/13 in which Rashmi becomes a member of Government Security agency.

TEJASWI'S 2nd show as lead was Sanskaar Season 2. Her Character was named as Dhara. The serial unfolded the Journey of an uneducated, illiterate but chirpy girl Dhara. Tejaswi was appreciated for beautifully playing the character of Gujrati girl Dhara.

Her 3rd show is SwaRagini were she is playing the character of Ragini.

This character unlike other leads is quite different.

It has been positive, grey and negative and Tejaswi has played each and every shade of this character flawlessly.

Ragini was introduced as the positive lead, a submissive girl whose world was limited to her family.

Soon she falls in love with Laksh (the guy who was chosen by her family for her), and while her love slowly turns into obsession, Tejaswi's character turned into a grey shade character.

Ragini turned negative when Swara, Lakshya and Sanskar made her speak out the truth out of her will (without her consent). To take revenge from them Ragini has completely turned into a bad girl.

Lakshya's bertrayal made her realise her mistakes.

After accepting her mistakes and her sacrifice to save Lakshya and family in order to come out of the guit of doing much wrong, Ragini now is leading a positive life where she is maried to Lakshya who is deeply in love with her. Although still difficulties are faced by now she stands with the truth.

Tejaswi has been also nominated in the category "Best actress in a negative role" at Indian Television Awards for her amazing portrayal of her character Ragini
