Career
She began in the Hindi film industry with Love Breakups Zindagi[1] and later appeared in Ek Tha Chander Ek Thi Sudha.[2] In 2015, she portrayed Gauri, an incarnation of Devi/Durga in the three month television series, Maharakshak: Devi. She was cast in the role partly due to her background as a dancer and a brown belt in the martial arts.[3] Jain states that she was drawn to the role because it was a challenging one.[4][5]
Jain also portrayed Tara in the long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai on Star Plus.[6] About her character, Umang said, "I play Tara in the show. She is a hockey player, who is slightly rough on the edges as she has been raised in a family of men but she is a soft and sweet person inside. She always stands up for what is right."[7]
