Gajala

Gajala (born Gazala Shaikh Khan) is an Indian former actress, who predominantly appeared in Telugu and Tamil languages films.

Early and personal life

Gazala Shaikh Khan lived in Kuwait before her entry into the film industry.[1] In 2010, she was reported to be in a romantic relationship with her costar Allari Naresh.[2] She married Faisal Raza Khan in 2016.[3]

Career

Gajala once attempted suicide because of loneliness and depression.[4] In an Interview with The Times of India, she said, "I don't see films as a career. Even when I started acting, I was doing films because I enjoy cinema. I never decided that I will do films till I'm 40 or 50 years old. I'm not struggling to work in cinema. If I get a good film, I'll be happy to do it. Otherwise, I'm not worried."[5][6]
