Jewel Narigara: Scoring 90% feels like validation for all the hard work

Young actor Jewel Narigara, known for his roles in shows like Ishq Subhan Allah and Dil Ki Suno Stories, has added another achievement to his journey—scoring an impressive 90% in his Class 10 board exams. Balancing academics and acting, Jewel describes this milestone as both rewarding and relieving. “Passing 10th grade with 90% in 2026 feels like a massive relief and a proud milestone. It gives me confidence and excitement as I now choose my stream for Class 11,” he shares.

For Jewel, the achievement is not just personal but also about making his family proud. “I’m delighted that my parents feel proud of me. This marksheet brings a strong sense of accomplishment,” he says, adding that he had consciously taken a break from acting to focus on studies. “I’m thankful to my parents, teachers, and friends for their constant support and motivation.”

Now that the intense pressure of board exams is behind him, Jewel is ready to return to work. “That overwhelming pressure is finally gone, and it gives me immense mental relief. I’m back now and looking forward to good projects,” he says.

Despite his passion for acting, Jewel remains clear about the importance of education. “I understand I need to be more responsible. The syllabus is getting tougher, and Higher Secondary exams are coming up. TV projects take a lot of time, so for now I’m more inclined towards web or film projects. But if something very interesting comes on TV, I may consider it.”

Jewel has already made a mark beyond television, with appearances in films like Dhamaka, starring Kartik Aaryan and Mrunal Thakur, and Madgaon Express, directed by Kunal Khemu.
