Monal Gajjar gained fame during her stint on Bigg Boss Season 4 in Telugu, where she became a popular figure due to her glamor and a love affair with contestant Akhil Sarthak. Despite initial attention, Monal's career did not see a significant rise in Telugu cinema afterward. She appeared in an item song in the movie "Adurs" and served as a judge on dance reality shows. However, lacking substantial roles in Tollywood, she eventually shifted her focus to Gujarati films, where opportunities and pay scales are comparatively limited.
