Srivastava made her acting debut in 2012 in B. Jaya's Lovely while she was still studying.[10] In her second Telugu film Adda, she played a fashion designing student. Sushil Rao of The Times of India wrote, "In the lengthy role that she has, Shanvi gets all her expressions right".[11] Shanvi was then signed by Ram Gopal Varma to play a brief role as Vishnu Manchu's romantic interest in his Telugu political drama Rowdy.[12][13]

In 2014, Srivastava made her Kannada debut with the horror comedy film Chandralekha,[14] and received positive reviews for her performance.[15][16] In 2015, Shanvi played a carefree girl in Masterpiece opposite Yash.[17][18] The film was a box office success and A.
