She began her working life in broadcast journalism and later used that experience as a springboard into acting and modelling.

Career

Bisht's screen career began in news and anchoring. After working as a journalist for a news channel, she took on an anchor role with DD National’s music show Chitrahaar in 2014. While at the channel she was noticed and invited to audition for acting opportunities, which led her to pursue acting full time.

Her early television appearances included a journalist role in the StarPlus series Airlines - Har Udaan Ek Toofan (2015) and a part as Dr. Shelly in Channel V’s Twist Wala Love (2015). She also auditioned for roles such as Sita in Siya Ke Ram and gradually built a portfolio in modelling and acting that brought more auditions and visibility.

Donal’s first significant television break came with Kalash - Ek Vishwaas (2015), a series that continued on air through 2017. In 2017 she landed her first leading role on Sony TV’s Ek Deewana Tha, portraying dual characters and working opposite Namik Paul and Vikram Singh Chauhan.
