Sriti Jha as Pragya of Kumkum Bhagya is making quite some noise with her acting and
performance. However, this actress who gained a mainstream role and popularity now has many
TV serials to her credit.

4. She auditioned for her debut serial Dhoom Machao Dhoom In Her College in Delhi
Sriti Jha has no struggle story to share. The girl had auditioned for Disney Channel’s Dhoom
Machao Dhoom in her college only. When the show shifted its location from Delhi to Mumbai, Sriti
Jha moved to Mumbai and this is how her career started. In Dhoom Machao Dhoom she played
the role of a superstitious and shy Malini Sharma.

didn’t run for long, Sriti started getting offers. Next, she signed a serial called Angad. However, it
could never see the light of the day. This is the period when she got the role of Sudha in Imagine
TV’s Jyoti where she played the leading lady’s sister, with a split personality disorder.
Simultaneously, she also played the role of a princess Suhani in another fantasy show – Shaurya
Aur Suhani. Yes, this brilliant actor has done two serials together! Next, Sriti joined Rakt
