Career Journey

Komal Jha's career began in an interesting way. She started not as an actress, but as an engineering student.

First Movie Role

Her first time on screen was in the 2009 movie 3 Idiots. She played a student in the song "All Is Well!". At the time, she was not a professional actress. After college, a construction company hired her, and she moved to Dubai to work as an engineer.

Returning to Film

After her first Malayalam movie, Komal worked on two Telugu films that were never released. Feeling disappointed, she went back to her job in Dubai. However, she was soon offered roles in two more movies: Nimbe Huli in the Kannada language and Ramachari in Telugu.

In 2013, Komal's career grew as she starred in three movies: Priyathama Neevachata Kushalama, Chinna Cinema, and Eduruleni Alexander. She played very different characters in these films, showing her acting skills. During the making of Priyathama Neevachata Kushalama, she faced a professional disagreement but stood up for herself. She told The Times of India that she would not let challenges stop her.

After working in several South Indian films, Komal took a break to focus on getting a lead role in a Bollywood movie. She felt that a successful Hindi film would help her become more widely recognized as an actress.
