Well-known actress Shilpa Shetty is her elder sister.[9]

Shetty did her schooling from St. Anthony's Girls' High School, Mumbai. After completing her degree in commerce from Sydenham College, she did a fashion designing diploma from SNDT College, Mumbai. After this, she started her internship with fashion designer Manish Malhotra, but Manish saw a spark in her and suggested to prep her for her acting career. In 2011, Shetty decided to follow her passion in interior design.[10] Her first solo project was Royalty, a club in Mumbai.[11] Later, her love for interior design pushed her to do a diploma from Central Saint Martins and Inchbald School of Design in London.[12]

Career

Mohabbatein and early work (2000–2013)

Shetty made her film debut in 2000 with the Yash Raj Films movie Mohabbatein, directed by Aditya Chopra.[17] Her portrayal of Ishika earned her the 2001 IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Female. Soon after, she gave hit dance numbers to Bollywood, including Sharara Sharara in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai (2002), Chori Pe Chori in Saathiya (2002) and Mind Blowing Mahiya in Cash (2007).[18] She was appreciated for her acting in the film Zeher (2005), for which she was nominated for the Stardust Award as Star of the Year Female (2006). Sify said, "Shamita Shetty is a surprise, a revelation. The actress proves that she can deliver if given an opportunity. She looks gorgeous all through, but more than anything else, it's her talent that you notice at the end of the show."[19] She worked with her sister Shilpa Shetty in the film Fareb.[20] She also starred in multi-star projects like Bewafaa (2005) and Cash (2007). In 2009, she participated in the reality television series Bigg Boss 3.[21] After 42 days, she left the show to attend her sister Shilpa Shetty's wedding.[22] She was the only contestant who wasn't nominated even once during her stay in the Bigg Boss house.[23]

Focus on interior design and entrepreneurship (2013–2017)

In 2015, Shetty participated on the dancing reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8.[28]

Further work, Bigg Boss return and recognition (2017–present)

In 2017, She starred in Voot's comedy web series Yo Ke Hua Bro, also co-starring Aparshakti Khurana, Gaurav Pandey and Ridhima Pandit.[29] In 2019, she participated in Colors TV's stunt reality show Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi, ending up as the third runner up.[30] Shetty then starred in T-Series' music video titled Teri Maa.[31]

In 2022, she starred in T-Series' music video titled Tere Vich Rab Disda.[44] About her role in The Tenant (2023), her return to cinema after 15 years, Shetty said, "The Tenant is a reflection of society from a modern, independent, single woman's perspective, with experiences and learnings every woman in India has been subjected to at some point of her life. The compelling backdrop and sensitive as well as realistic narrative of the film connected with me, prompting me to instantly agree to do the film. I truly believe, every woman and the people around her, would deeply resonate with the story, offering a deeper insight into the disturbing, prevailing realities of the society we live in today."[45]
