Ashley's first film role was in the 2018 film "Boogie Man." Ashley plays Aarti, a kind and beautiful children's activity teacher who is supposed to be set up with the film's main character, Paavan. The movie centres around Pavaan's struggle to identify with his Indian culture while also exploring what makes him happy. During a 1970s exhibition, he meets and falls in love with a model, which stirs up his identity crisis and loyalty to his family. Ashley's role in "Boogie Man" is small, but it only helped to build her career and launch her stardom.
