She graduated with a Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology from KIIT University in 2011.

Over the years, she has delivered critically acclaimed and commercially successful performances in films like Babu I Love You, Pagala Karichi Paunji Tora, Chocolate, and ACP Sagarika.

Expanding her horizons, she made her dual Bengali and Hindi cinema debut portraying Moina Bai in the biographical film The Light: Swami Vivekananda. Beyond her extensive work in entertainment, Sahu is deeply committed to social causes and public service. She serves as the state Ambassador for UNICEF and the Government of Odisha's campaign for the eradication of child labor, as well as the ambassador for the Junior Red Cross. Her prominent public profile also led to her appointment as the brand ambassador for the Deccan Chargers during the fifth season of the Indian Premier League. In her personal life, she married fellow Odia actor Sabyasachi Mishra on March 1, 2021, in Jaipur, and the couple welcomed a baby boy on January 22, 2026.
