Jeremiah learned classical piano when she was eight. At age 10, she was a part of a Jackson Five-style troupe called Young Stars which formed the base of her early singing and music composing career. She was also a theatre artist in her college and appeared in several stage plays organised by The Madras Players and EVAM.[6][7] She was the President of the Student Senate at Women's Christian College. She also organised a company, The Show Must Go On (TSMGO Productions), to promote live art and artistes.[8] Jeremiah said that as a college student, she turned down every film offer she got as she had no intention of becoming a film actor.[9]

She has performed all over India. After she rendered a song in Gautham Menon's Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu,[5] he asked her to play a lead female character in his next venture, Pachaikili Muthucharam.[7] This film was a film adaptation of James Siegel's novel Derailed,[10] with Jeremiah portraying Kalyani, a homemaker, whose husband engages in an affair and is blackmailed. Jeremiah was selected for the role after actresses Simran, Shobana and Tabu were approached.[10][11][12]

She signed for Selvaraghavan's fantasy-adventure film Aayirathil Oruvan,[7] which released in early 2010. In 2011, she agreed to play a minor supporting role in Venkat Prabhu's multi-starrer Mankatha, which was released in August 2011.[13] In 2013, she made her debut in Malayalam cinema with Rajeev Ravi's romance film Annayum Rasoolum. She has rated this film as the best in her career.[14] She played a role in Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam and reprised the role in its sequel, which released in 2018.[15]

Jeremiah has completed filming for Puthiya Thiruppangal, in which she plays a journalist.[16] In Endrendrum Punnagai, she played a model[17] and she also acted in the Malayalam film London Bridge.[18] She had signed on to director Ram's Taramani,[19] which released in 2017.

She is currently[when?] filming Kaa, in which she plays the lead role. She reportedly plays a wildlife photographer.[20]

Singing

Jeremiah has stated that her focus was always on music,[9] that she chose to be a professional singer and that acting happened by chance.[21] In 2005, she ventured into playback singing in feature films.[22] She has sung several popular songs for composers Harris Jayaraj, Yuvan Shankar Raja, Anirudh Ravichander, Thaman Devi Sri Prasad and G. V. Prakash Kumar[23] and has also received nominations at Filmfare and Vijay Awards for a few of them. She considers the song "Maalai Neram" as the most challenging she has sung.[9]
