She is a psychology graduate, initially aspired to pursue medicine but discovered her passion for music during her 11th grade. She debuted as a playback singer with the song "He Jeevan Sundar Aahe" in the Marathi film Chaukat Raja (1991), composed by Anand Modak and written by Sudhir Moghe, alongside Asha Bhosle and Ravindra Sathe. In 1996, at the age of 16, Anjali won the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer for her soulful renditions in the Marathi film Doghi. The citation from the Government of India praised her "melodious and heart-touching expression of the harshness of life." Directed by Sumitra Bhave–Sunil Sukthankar, the film starred Renuka Daftardar and Sonali Kulkarni in lead roles. Anjali sang two iconic songs in the film, "Nagpanchamicha San Bai" and "Bhui Bhegalali Khol," with lyrics by Namdeo Dhondo Mahanor and music by Anand Modak. She also received the Maharashtra State Film Award for her performance. Anjali lent her voice to songs in Marathi films like Saibaba and Marmabandh. Her rendition of "Umbarachya Banakhali" in Marmabandh earned her a nomination for the Zee Chitra Gaurav Award for Best Female Playback Singer. She also recorded "Jeevan Tyanna Kalale Ho" with her mother Anuradha and singer Ravindra Sathe, written by Balkrishna Bhagwant Borkar and composed by Saleel Kulkarni. Anjali's talents extended beyond films, as she recorded title tracks for TV serials like Jhoothe Sachhe Gudde Bacche (Hindi) and Olakh Sanga Na (Marathi).
