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]
