Career
Before pursuing a career in acting, Jaleel was an active TikTok user, which won her recognition as a performer. During this time, she was featured in several advertisements and took part in few acting workshops. 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).

However, it was her next role, Ravee Farooq-directed web series Ehenas which "promoted her acting ability". this series follows the experiences of a male victim of long-term domestic and sexual abuse, and the societal obstacles he faces when attempting marriage. Jaleel appeared in its second season as Farzana, an empowered single mother. Ifraz Ali from ''Dho?'" wrote: "In this season, Jaleel's fantastic performance is the only factor that poured petrol on a dying fire".

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. 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". 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. In the film she played the role of a hardworking frontline doctor working amid the COVID-19 pandemic. She recalled the project as "frightening experience" requiring the actors to wear extensive PPE kit. 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.

The following year, she starred alongside Ismail Rasheed in Moomin Fuad's crime drama short film Feehaali, which got positive reviews from critics.
