While the system is in run definitely it will ask for more memory, in that case how we are going to satisfy the memory needed by Jemalloc?

It sounds to me like you have jemalloc configured to create numerous arenas.  You need to drop the chunk size (256 KiB works fine), and/or decrease the number of arenas (one will work fine unless your app does a lot of large allocation).
