The actress then hosted the dance reality show for which she auditioned as a child, ‘Boogie Woogie Kids Championship’.
She returned to the fictional Showa with ZeeTV’s ‘Rishon Ka Mela', which was a 10-episode series in April 2015, and the show aired its last episode in May of the same year.
Sargun, after creating a name in Hindi television, ventured into the Punjabi movie industry in 2015 and debuted along with Amarinder Gill in the movie ‘Angrej’. The movie became the second-highest-grossing movie of that year and got the actors a lot of appreciation and love. She then starred in ‘Love Punjab’ in 2016 and bagged the Filmfare Award for Best Actress (Punjabi Films).
She continued to appear in films like ‘Jindua’ and then in ‘Lahoriye’ as Amiran, for which she won her second Filmfare award.
In 2018, she starred in one of her biggest films, ‘Qismat’ alongside Ammy Virk, for which she won the PTC Film Award for Best Actress.

She then went on to co-produce her fourth release of the year, ‘Jhalle’. She produced the movie with her co-actor, Bunny Dhillon.
After the pandemic in 2021, Sargun came back with ‘Qismat 2’, the sequel to her 2018 film alongside Ammy Virk and Tanya. In 2022, she did the romantic comedy ‘Sunken Sunkane’ with Ammy Virk and Nimrat Khaira. She again starred alongside Gurnam Bhullar in ‘Ghund Kadh Le Ni Sohreyan Da Pind Aa Gaya'.

Sargun, in the course of becoming who she is today, is featured in many shows other than daily soaps and later movies.
In the initial years of her career, Sargun appeared in Comedy Circus along with Kapil Sharma but later quit due to her busy schedule.
She walked ramps for many fashion shows and participated in reality shows like ‘Nach Baliye 5’ in which she came in 2nd.
She also appeared as guests on shows like ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’, ‘Bigg Boss 9', and ‘Farah ki Dawat’.
She also featured in several music videos, of which the most famous ones are ‘Qismat’ with Ammy Virk, ‘Titliyan’ with Hardy Sandhu, and the most recent one with her husband, ‘Ve Haaniyaan’.

She became a successful producer with songs like ‘Udaariyan’, ‘Junooniyat’, ‘Swan Ghar’, 'Dalchini', and ‘Badal pe pain hai’.
The couple met on the sets of the show 12/24 Karol Bagh, in which they starred opposite each other. When Sargun was shown Ravi’s photographs, she did not have a good impression of him, as he was playing the character who was mentally disturbed, but she found him cute when she saw him in person. Ravi found her to be an introvert, but when they got to know each other, they found that they had a lot in common and slowly formed a really deep connection with one another.
They did not say I LOVE YOU to each other but felt that they were more than friends and that they appeared to be dating, so they accepted it and went ahead with that. The two then participated in the couple dance reality show Nach Baliye 5, in which they were announced as the first runner-up. Ravi even proposed to Sargun on the show itself, and they went on to marry a year later, in December 2013. It has been 10 years of their relationship, and to celebrate it, they did a music video together, ‘Ve Haaniyaan', which became really popular and got the couple a lot of love from the audiences.
Sargun is said to have a net worth of approximately INR 50 crores and two luxury cars: one is a Jaguar gifted to her by her husband, and one is a BMW X7, which the couple bought in 2020.
