She was raised in the city and completed her schooling at M K Secondary & Higher Secondary School, Ahmedabad.

After completing her school education, Janki pursued a Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the Goenka Research Institute of Dental Science in Gandhinagar. Her academic background in dentistry demonstrates that acting was not initially her only career direction. During her college years, however, her interest in modelling, pageants and entertainment gradually became stronger. Janki entered the Gujarati film industry with Chhello Divas (2015). Directed and written by Krishnadev Yagnik, the youth-oriented film became a major success and introduced her to Gujarati audiences. The success of her debut gave her opportunities to continue working in regional cinema. She subsequently appeared in films including O Taareee, Tamburo, Daud Pakad, Chhutti Jashe Chhakka, Tari Maate Once More and Bau Na Vichaar. These projects helped her gain experience and develop her screen presence while establishing her as a recognizable actress in Gujarati cinema. The success of Vash opened the door to Hindi cinema. In Shaitaan (2024), directed by Vikas Bahl, Janki reprised her role in the Hindi adaptation, appearing alongside Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan and Jyotika. The film marked her Bollywood debut and introduced her performance to a much wider national audience. Career Journey & Entry into Bollywood In 2022, Janki appeared in Naadi Dosh, another Gujarati film directed by Krishnadev Yagnik. Her collaboration with the director continued into Vash, which became one of the most significant films of her career. The supernatural thriller was released in 2023 and received strong audience response, with Janki's performance earning particular appreciation. Janki's performance in Vash also brought major recognition at the national level. She won the Best Actress in a Supporting Role at the 71st National Film Awards for her performance in the Gujarati film, sharing the honour with Malayalam actress Urvashi. The award represented an important milestone in her career and recognition for Gujarati cinema as well. In 2026, Janki appeared in Mardaani 3, her second Hindi film after Shaitaan. She plays a police officer alongside Rani Mukerji, who returns as Shivani Shivaji Roy. Interestingly, Janki's casting reportedly happened after she received an audition opportunity during a visit to Mumbai, eventually securing a role in the Yash Raj Films production.
