Her father was reported to have been against her pursuing an acting career. But Amala got much support from her brother Abijith Paul, who later followed her into the film industry.

Amala made her debut in the Tamil film industry in 2010 with Sathish Kumar's Veerasekaran. Unfortunately, it went unnoticed.
It was Samy’s controversial film Sindhu Samaveli that brought Amala recognition. The story revolved around an illicit relationship between a girl and her father-in-law. Amala’s performance won her critical acclaim but the film was not received well. She even claimed to have received death threats from anonymous callers.

The romantic thriller Myna, which also released in 2010, brought Amala both critical and commercial success. It was directed by Prabhu Solomon and featured Amala as a village belle, opposite actor Vidharth.

Amala was linked to her Deiva Thirumagal director AL Vijay in 2011 but they denied it.
They collaborated again for the hugely successful crime drama Thalaivaa two years later.
After repeatedly denying relationship rumours, Amala and AL Vijay got married in June 2014.

Later in 2013, the actress proved herself in V V Vinayak's commercial entertainer Naayak opposite Ram Charan, which went on to become one of the biggest grossers of the year.
Despite the personal upheavals in her life, the actress has already had three releases this year -- 2 Penkuttikal, Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum and Amma Kanakku (which became Nil Bate Sannatta in Hindi).
