She made her debut as a supporting artiste in the 2008 released Hani Hani[4] and later acted in Neenyare directed by Sindesh. Though the film failed to create any impact at the box office, Ramya got recognised and then her career took off when she was cast for Yogaraj Bhat's home production Pancharangi and Puneeth Rajkmar starer Hudugru.[5] For both roles she got a nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress – Kannada.[6] [7] Earlier she also ventured into Tamil and Telugu films, acting in Mathiya Chennai (Tamil) and Kshudra (Telugu).[1] She also acted in Nannedeya Haadu in which she played a music teacher[4] and Nee Bandhu Ninthaaga for which she said she had to act in a song out of compulsion.[1] Her Tulu film Oriyardori Asal completed a 150-day run[8] and became a blockbuster hit and was critically acclaimed.[9] She also got a cameo role in the successful Kannada film Paramathma opposite Puneeth Rajkumar.[2] She was last seen in the film Bulbul which had Darshan and Rachita Ram in the lead roles.[10]
