Born in Mumbai, Pervien's family had no connection with the film industry. During her college days, she started modelling, and then he was spotted by a director and asked to audition for a play. 

Pervien cracked the audition, and that's how her journey as an actor started. Before joining films, Pervien was starring in multiple English plays with stars like Naseeruddin Shah, and Pearl Padamsee. 

During this time, Sooraj was looking out for new faces, for his film. Sooraj noticed Pervien in a comedy play. Sooraj got impressed with Pervien, so he called his father, Raj Kumar Barjatiya. They offered her the film, and she accepted. For the film, Pervien got Rs 25,000, whereas Bhagyashree got Rs 1.5 lakhs.

After the film was released, Pervien realised that her character was accepted widely among the masses. Dastur was bestowed many offers. However, Pervien didn't accept them, as she felt that the characters she has been offered, had little-to-no dept, or importance to the narrative. 

While speaking to a news portal, Pervien said, "Jo offers mile there was no fun in that." Jokingly the actress said, "Maybe I was spoiled by Rajshri."

In the same interview, Pervien said that she was unhappy with the offers she was getting, thus, Pervien shifted her career from films and became an air hostess in Air India. Pervien was happy by putting her filmy career on the back burner. Pervien is also a professional hair stylist and her Instagram feed is full of happy clients with beautiful hairdos done by the actress. 

After Maine Pyar Kiya, Salman and Pervien were supposed to come together for Suryavanshi (1992). She signed the film and was waiting for her call. A month later, Pervien got to know through Screen Magazine that she got replaced by Amrita Singh. 

Similarly, Pervien was signed to work with Aamir Khan in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke. But she got an appointment call from the airline. Pervien choose to work as an air hostess, and that role went to Navneet Nishan. Pervien was also offered the series Zabaan Sambhaal Ke, but it went to Tanaaz Currim Irani.

Pervien dated model, actor Shahrukh Irani for years, and they got married in 1992. The couple is blessed with two daughters. The older daughter (26) is in Ireland. Her younger daughter (22) will join her sister soon for further studies.
