Leena Jumani is currently seen in Zee TV’s show Kumkum Bhagya. While the actress had worked in the Gujarati film industry as a teenager, she revealed how she started working at the stock market after her graduation to support her family. Leena Jumani says, “I was only 16 when I was offered an opportunity in the Gujarati film industry. From a very young age, I wanted to support my family in any way possible and with acting being my passion, I took it up instantly.”

She adds, “I got a really good role at MCX, so I took it up. It was pretty exciting, and I did well, but my passion continued to be acting. After a few years, I randomly shared my pictures with Balaji Telefilms for a show they were casting for, and I didn’t think I could get it. But by God’s grace, I got selected and was called for an audition. This decision turned out to be a life-changer for me and I must say I love working as an actor. I do it because I love acting and don’t consider it as a job.”
