Gagnani entered the entertainment industry through television, working initially in supporting roles before progressing to prominent antagonist parts. His career has been built largely within the ecosystem of Hindi general entertainment channels, where he has appeared in serials produced by leading production houses.
Before his breakthrough, Gagnani featured in several daily serials in supporting capacities, gradually establishing himself in the prime-time soap opera segment.
Kundali Bhagya began airing on Zee TV in 2017 and became one of the most-watched Hindi serials on Indian television, frequently topping the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) ratings during its initial years. Gagnani's portrayal of Prithvi Malhotra, a recurring antagonist who schemes against the show's central Luthra family, became one of the show's defining elements and contributed to his popular recognition. The serial is produced by Balaji Telefilms under Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor.
Gagnani has also been associated with other television projects and reality-format participations on Hindi entertainment channels, alongside appearances in digital and music-video content typical for television actors of his generation.
As part of the cast of Kundali Bhagya, Gagnani has been associated with one of the most commercially successful Hindi soap operas of the late 2010s. His sustained portrayal of a long-running antagonist illustrates a recognisable archetype of Indian saas-bahu and family-drama television, where negative leads often achieve audience prominence comparable to the protagonists.
