Biography:
Tulip was born and brought up in Mumbai. Tulip is a mixture of a Hindu Gujarati father and a Christian Lebanese mother, as a result she practiced both Hinduism and Christianity. But now that she is engaged to Captain (Retd.) Vinod Nair she’s converted to Kimmaya, a religious order founded by her husband. 

Before becoming an actress, tulip had participated in the Femina Miss India Contest in 2000, However she was unable to make it to the finals, but she definitely got noticed and after that she did commercials for many popuplar brands like Pepsi, Smirnoff, Siyaram's, Ponds, BPL, Coca Cola etc.. She has also appeared in a video-tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

When she was attending the wedding reception of Yash Chopra's son, Aditya, tulip was noticed and asked to audition for a role in 'Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai' for even which she got selected and became her debut movie. As she was not fluent in hindi she got herself trained in Hindi diction and in acting at Feroze Khan’s studio and was re-named Sanjana as many filmmakers found the name very unconventional. The film was quite a success. But despite the good reviews and success, Tulip was criticised for her acting. Afterwards, she did not appear in any movies or commercials for close to two years, due to severe back problems, resulting from a slipped disc and a shifted spine. But in 2005, her come-back with 'Matrubhoomi'- a dark film about a futuristic world with almost no women got her a lot of praise and established her credibility as an actress. Reverting back to her given name, Tulip next appeared in the Telugu film Villain and Hindi movie Dil Maange More with Shahid Kapoor, Ayesha Takia and Soha Ali Khan.
