On screen, Srivastav has worked in Hindi films and television serials over several decades. He is widely recognised by Indian television audiences for his recurring presence in family dramas and ensemble serials produced for terrestrial and satellite channels.

His association with IPTA places him within a lineage of stage-trained performers who have shaped Hindi theatre in cities such as Mumbai.
