She appeared in a number of advertising campaigns for big brands (Ponds, Pepsi, Siyaram, BPL, Smirnoff etc.). She also appeared in a video made as a tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Joshi entered movies quite by chance. She was a friend of the bride of Aditya Chopra, the son of director Yash Chopra. The family noticed her at their wedding and asked her to appear for an audition, following which they cast her in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai. Not being fluent in Hindi, she trained in Hindi diction and in acting at Feroz Khan's studio. She was also advised by the film-makers to change her name to something more Indian, as audiences might have difficulty in accepting a heroine with such an unconventional name. She chose the name Sanjana, she was playing the character of Anjali in that film. The film was quite a success. Despite the good reviews and success, Tulip was heavily panned for her acting.

After a two-year hiatus, she reappeared in Matrubhoomi - a dark film about a futuristic world with almost no women. Her performance in it was praised and established her credibility as an actress. Dhoka movie also gave her some recognition.

Reverting to her given name, Tulip next appeared in the Telugu film Villain. Her next Hindi movie was Dil Maange More with Shahid Kapoor, Ayesha Takia and Soha Ali Khan. The film got average reviews but it was not a box office success.

She appeared in her first Punjabi film in 2009 called Jag Jeondeyan De Mele with famous Punjabi singer and actor, Harbhajan Maan. She again acted with Harbhajan Mann in 2011 in Yaara O Dildaara, the Punjabi movie.

In 2010, she acted in a Kannada film directed by Upendra titled Super. The movie was a superhit in Kannada. This movie is also being dubbed in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi.

A case of cheating was filed at Kalamassery Police Station against Joshi in January 2011 by producers of the movie Dam 999. Sohan Roy, director of the movie, claimed that Tulip didn't complete the shooting despite being paid INR 8.5 lakh. Roy is also the CEO of Aries Telecasting Limited, the parent company of Middle East based Marine BizTV, which was producing the movie. The FIR said that Joshi didn't turn up for shooting after arriving for initial first two days, and then didn't respond to producer's request to settle the matter by returning the payment. Joshi was supposed to play role of Razia, a Pakistani character in the film, and was eventually replaced by Megha Burman.
