At a very young age, Jamuna acted alongside legendary actors like NTR, ANR, Krishna, Krishnam Raju, Shoban Babu, etc. She was one of the celebrated actresses of 1960s and 1970s.
While she enacted several roles in her illustrious career, the character of Satyabhama, one of Lord Krishna's wives, was her favourite role. She was called ‘Cine Satyabhama’ for the way she had portrayed the part in a few films.
Jamuna successfully contested as Member of Parliament in the 9th Lok Sabha (1989–1991) representing the Rajahmundry constituency.
