Bašić was born in Vranje, Serbia, formerly part of Yugoslavia, on 28 February 1976, and spent her early childhood there.[1] When she was 6 years old, she and her family moved to Split, Croatia, which was also formerly part of Yugoslavia.[1] After graduating high school, she moved to London and enrolled at the Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts.[2]

Bašić appeared in the BBC medical drama Casualty as Serbian paramedic Snezana Lalovic.

Bašić has made a number of appearances on British television, notably on Murphy's Law and Silent Witness. In 2014 she appeared in an episode of the Channel 5 detective drama Suspects. She normally portrays a character with a central European background, an ability largely helped by her own Croatian background. She also portrayed Ilinka Blazevic in the second season of Happy Valley (2016).[2][3]
