Malini Sharma - Dhoom Machao Dhoom (Disney Channel)
Sriti Jha's very first role on TV was in Dhoom Machao Dhoom (DMD) on Disney Channel as Malini Sharma, one of 4 school girls who form their own musical group called the Pink Band. Sriti played the shy and superstitious, Malini, who is more comfortable singing Bhajans and who goes against her strict father's wishes when she decides to join the band as the keyboard player. Her cute chemistry with Vikrant Massey, as Aamir, was much appreciated by fans of the show.
Sunaina Kotak - Jiya Jale (9X)
Sriti really arrived on the scene with the lead role in Jiya Jale on 9X channel. She played Sunaina Kotak, an ordinary girl-next-door, who goes through the trials and tribulations of falling in love. She made a great pair with Saurabh Pandey but Jiya Jale was the show in which her talent started getting noticed.
Sudha Sharma / Devika - Jyoti (Imagine TV)
The role that really brought out the true actor in Sriti, and brought her recognition, was that of Sudha Sharma in Jyoti on Imagine TV. She played the younger sister of the title character, who suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder in the show. In spite of of her role being that of a parallel lead, her brilliant performance as the timid and weak Sudha and her bold and glamorous alter-ego, Devika, made her stand out from the rest of the huge cast. Sudha/Devika's track paired with her chemistry with Alok Narula was one of the most popular tracks of Jyoti. It remains among her best performances so far.
Princess Suhani - Shaurya Aur Suhani (Star Plus)
At the same time as Jyoti, Sriti signed on to play the role of Suhani in the Fantasy Love Story Shaurya Aur Suhani (SAS) on Star Plus. She played the proud and fiesty Princess Suhani who falls in love with Shaurya. After Jiya Jale, she was again paired opposite Saurabh Pandey as Shaurya. The pair was appreciated for their constantly bickering romance and chemistry.
Sandhya Savratkar / Vrinda - Rakt Sambandh (Imagine TV)
Sriti's next role was equally challenging as Sandhya in Rakt Sambandh on Imagine TV. She played the role of a blind girl who finds herself married into an aristocratic family with a dark secret, and on regaining her eyesight, goes on to take revenge on them in the guise of Vrinda, a tapori. Sriti handled the characters of the intuitive but helpless Sandhya as well as the colourful and tomboyish Vrinda with equal flair. Her chemistry with Dhruv Bhandari, who played her husband Yuvraj, and Naman Shaw who played Neeraj were appreciated.
Jhanvi Dobriyal / Sia Raghavendra Pratap Singh - Dil Se Di Dua.Saubhagyawati Bhava? (Life OK)
Sriti rose to popularity thanks to the role of Jhanvi /Sia in Saubhagyawati Bhava on channel Life OK. She played Jhanvi, a victim of domestic violence who after bearing daily torture from her abusive husband and suffering a miscarriage manages to escape, takes on the new identity of Sia, and with the help of a mechanic brings about justice for herself and puts her husband behind bars. Her chemistry with Harshad Chopra who plays Raghav, her savior and love interest was extremely popular. They became one of the best Jodi's of Indian television despite not getting much romantic scenes.
Ganga - Balika Vadhu (Colors)
Sriti entered the long running show Balika Vadhu in January, as a bold, rustic, illiterate Rajasthani village girl and young mother to a one year old who is a victim of child marriage and is badly ill-treated by her in-laws and husband. She tries running away whereby her husband, Ratan Singh, beats her almost to death and takes away her son. She is saved by Dr. Jagdish Singh (Jagya) and is given refuge in his family's mansion after which she is soon reunited with her son, Mannu. Jagya and his family encourages Ganga to restart her education and become independent by training to be a nurse. Her Jodi with Shashank Vyas who plays Jagya also became popular.Sriti is currently seen as the main lead in the Balaji show, Kumkum Bhagya which is also the No. 1 show on Zee TV and also one of the Top 5 shows on Indian Television. She plays the role of Pragya Arora, an extremely practical and serious Associate Professor who doesn't believe in dreams and for whom family means everything. Despite swearing off love and marriage after repeated rejections, broken alliances and heartbreak, she is finally forced to marry for the sake of her mother's health. She finds herself married to a famous rockstar only to discover that she was trapped into this relationship due to a huge misunderstanding on the part of her husband. Despite their mutual dislike, how these two people belonging to two different worlds, and being polar opposites find love, trust and understanding with each other forms the crux of this story. Her pair with Shabbir Ahluwalia is already one of the most popular jodis on Indian TV and their cute fights and nok-jhoks are a highlight of the show. This show marks the first time that Sriti is working with Ekta Kapoor.
