Early life
Komal Jha was born on 15 March 1987 in Ranchi, Bihar (now in Jharkhand) to an orthodox Brahmin family. Her father is author and philosopher Dr. Shyama Nand Jha. She completed her schooling (1995–2003) from DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir, Shyamali School situated in the MECON Colony in Ranchi. She used to reside in the same colony, where Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni lived. Later on, she has completed an Engineering degree (2004–2008) in Civil Engineering from MSRIT. Owing to the apical results she earned in her degree, she was placed on campus by an accredited and reputed construction company situated in Dubai. But after a year of her work, she resigned from her post to make her career in area of glamour and acting.
Career
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, was she offered two movies in two different languages namely, Nimbe Huli and Ramachari in Kannada and Telugu respectively. Jha was not satisfied with the overall success of both the films owing 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 diversely different 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.
Activities
Apart from acting, Jha writes poetry and publishes poetry on her own website. She has occasionally appeared as a delegate to speak about the current youth issues on some news channels. Jha has worked with the Little Angels Orphanage located in Mumbai to collect funds for them by auctioning her exclusive designer-wear.
Controversies
Some controversies surrounded Jha. The director of Nimbe Huli complained to the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce about Jha before release of the film. As it was stated by her in one of her interviews to Times of India, these controversies stopped her from taking up more assignments in Kannada Film Industry. Reportedly she made an allegation stating she wasn't treated professionally during the filming of the movie, to one of her interviewers from The Times of India.
Also, she alleged that the co-actor Varun Sandesh indecently behaved with her during the filming of the movie Priyathama Neevachata Kushalama. She lamented that he removed her from the posters of the movie on not being reciprocated.
There was news that she was romantically linked with the Indian Cricket captain M. S. Dhoni and a well known Indian actor R. Madhavan too. However she has denied to all these rumors during her interviews to multiple news sources.
