In 2020, she portrayed Lata Mehra in BBC One's A Suitable Boy alongside Ishaan Khattar, which proved as a major turning point in her career.[8] She was asked by a friend to audition for a new production, unaware that the show involved was A Suitable Boy.[9] She received praises from the critics for her performance.[10][9]

In 2024, Maniktala played Tulika in her second film, Kill opposite Lakshya.[15] Praising her performance, Sukanya Verma noted, "Tanya's bright presence quickly achieves the beating heart as well as the gaping hole it leaves without slowing down Kill's reckless momentum."[16]
