[1] At the end of such one workshop, actor Mohamed Munthasir offered her one of the main roles in his sitcom web series, Thin Bibee (2019). [1]

However, it was her next role, Ravee Farooq-directed web series Ehenas which "promoted her acting ability".

Jaleel appeared in its second season as Farzana, an empowered single mother. [3] Ifraz Ali from Dho?'" wrote: "In this season, Jaleel's fantastic performance is the only factor that poured petrol on a dying fire". [4]

During the filming of Thin Bibee, Fuad offered her a side role in his period drama web television series Gamini . She accepted the role, hoping it would "pave the path" for her career. [5] [1] Her performance in the series as the wife of the island's chief was positively received by critics. One critic wrote in Dho, "Jaleel has proved that a genuine performance and a strong screen presence can grab the limelight even with minimal dialogues". [6] [4] In the same year, she featured in Madhoship Studio's three-part short film Thadhu , which narrates the consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the perception of lockdown in Male' City, through the eyes of three people. [7] In the film she played the role of a hardworking frontline doctor working amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

[1] She was also part of the ensemble cast of Yoosuf Shafeeu's romantic comedy web-series Huvaa Kohfa Bunan , where she played the wife of a man who is a hardcore fan of a local actress. [9]
