Early Life

Very little about Kajal’s childhood has been confirmed in reliable reporting. Published accounts disagree on where she was born, so we have left her birthplace out until a dependable source settles it.

Her birth year is 1990. On 20 July 2017, Amar Ujala reported that she was marking her 27th birthday that day. Several profile websites list a full date of birth, but none of the major outlets we checked does, so we give the year only and have not computed an age.

Career

According to Amar Ujala, Kajal began acting in a Gujarati film and had worked in about 50 films by mid-2017. Her Wikipedia filmography opens with the Gujarati title Have Mare Hira Nathi Ghasva (2009), followed by the Bhojpuri films Sugna (2011) and Rihai (2013). Amar Ujala named Devra Bhail Deewana (2014) as one of her most talked-about films.

Over the following years she became a regular lead opposite the industry’s top male stars. The Times of India reported Pawan Singh as her hero in Tere Jaisa Yaar Kahan, Khesari Lal Yadav in Baaghi Ek Yodha and Ritesh Pandey in Kashi Vishwanath. Wikipedia describes her as one of the highest-paid actresses in Bhojpuri cinema, and in 2016 she won the Bhojpuri Best Actress People’s Choice Award at the International Bhojpuri Film Awards (IBFA), held that year in Dubai.

Bhojpuri Bawaal (2026)

Her first big step into unscripted TV was Bhojpuri Bawaal, which launched on 2 August 2026, streaming on JioHotstar and airing on Colors TV, according to Brut. Its announced core cast was Pawan Singh, Dinesh Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua’, Amrapali Dubey, Tej Pratap Yadav and Kajal. The series follows the stars’ personal and working lives and has no tasks or eliminations. Ahead of the launch, UNI quoted her saying the show was built on real relationships and conversations rather than artificial drama.

Kajal Raghwani in Rise and Fall 2 (2026)

Esquire India listed Kajal among the confirmed contestants of Rise and Fall 2 and called her one of the best-known regional names in the cast. Former cricketer Virender Sehwag fronts the season, which opened on 26 September 2026 with a 15-member cast; episodes stream free on Prime Video and MX Player. Its format splits the cast into Rulers, who live in a penthouse, and Workers, who live and labour in the basement.

She started near the top. In the opening episode, Daily Jagran reported, Kajal held ₹3.5 lakh and Swara Bhasker ₹4 lakh, and the two pooled their amounts to win penthouse places, which sent Anish Bhagat downstairs. By the first week’s nominations she was a Worker again. Daily Jagran listed her as one of four nominees, with Niharika Tiwari and Gautam Gulati among the Workers declared safe. She survived that round, and Anish Bhagat became the first contestant voted out by the Rulers.

She spent the rest of her run downstairs. On 13 October, after three wildcards entered in episode 17, Daily Jagran still listed her in the Basement alongside Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and Gautam Gulati. In week 3 she was among five nominated Workers, and the Workers faced a double elimination. During the episode, Sehwag pulled her up for passing conversations from one housemate to another. The Rulers then chose to save Sonam Malik, and Kajal went out together with Sara Gurpal in a double elimination in episode 25, streamed on 20 October 2026, Filmibeat reported. Wikipedia’s season page records her exit as Day 21, evicted by the Rulers.
