Komal Jha is an Indian movie actress and writer. She established a career in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and now Hindi film industries. She is known for her career transformation from being a civil engineer to an actress, and for her roles in Chinna Cinema. In addition to acting, she participates in stage shows and endorses several brands, predominantly in South India. Jha made her acting debut with the 2009 Bollywood movie 3 Idiots while attending college and her first Malayalam movie released in 2010, 24 Hrs. In the same year Jha left for Dubai and took a job with an international construction firm located in Dubai, UAE. In 2011, Jha was back to India for Nimbe Huli and Ramachari. Jha was also appearing in television commercials and print ads for some brands such as Axis Bank, BNP Paribas Mutual Funds and Moti Soap during this time.
Jha made her acting debut in 2009 with Bollywood the film 3 Idiots, in which she had a minor role of a college student featuring in the song "All Is Well!" She was not an actor by profession then and left for Dubai as she was on campus, placed by a construction company there. After her Malayalam debut Jha did two Telugu films, namely Kalachakram and Parvathi, which did not release and were shelved. Disappointed by the projects getting shelved, Jha left for Dubai and just when she decided to not indulge in this futility, she was offered two movies in two different languages namely, Nimbe Huli and Ramachari in Kannada and Telugu respectively. Jha was not satisfied both the films' overall success due to the delay in the release dates.
Despite her previous film Nimbe Huli having a delayed release as well as various controversies associated with the same, Jha was offered three movies in the same year, namely Priyathama Neevachata Kushalama, Chinna Cinema, and Eduruleni Alexander. She played diverse characters of a college girl, the younger version of an old woman and the love interest of a police officer respectively. Thus, she suddenly rose to a place where she started getting public appearances and events regularly. However, in the movie Priyathama Neevachata Kushalama, directed by Trinadh Rao Nakkina and starring opposite Varun Sandesh, Jha was removed from the posters owing to not reciprocating the advances by Sandesh. Jha was way too strong and quoted to The Times of India that she will not let anything pull her down.
Jha took a year break from South Indian film industries to focus on her Bollywood debut. She quoted in an interview that "I have done 8 feature films and still did not get the recognition I deserve; it is time to move away to a better place. One Hindi film is equivalent to 10 regional films." Jha took some time off to work on her singing and scope in the music industry.
