‘I Was Only Known As Shilpa Shetty’s Sister Before Zeher’, Says Shamita Shetty

Shamita Shetty made her debut in the film industry with the Yash Raj Films’ blockbuster ‘Mohabbatein’ (2012). Younger sister of Shilpa Shetty, the 38-year-old actress also appeared on the third season of ‘Big Boss’ in 2009. Well, it goes without saying that Shamita has gained more popularity as Shilpa’s younger sister than as an actress and this very fact upsets the Bewafaa actress.

“Initially that happened a lot when I joined the industry till I did ‘Zeher’ in 2005”, Shamita stated, adding, “I remember before that as Shilpa Shetty’s sister. I couldn’t understand that why they don’t remember my name. But I think ‘Zeher’ changed a lot for me because I think people noticed me as an actor plus I feel that it is a good film. Especially when you work with people like Mahesh Bhatt, you can’t go wrong. After ‘Zeher’ I wanted to actually act. I really didn’t have drive to be honest before that”.

On the professional front, Shamita will next be seen in an upcoming web series ‘Yo Kay Ho Gaya’. Touching upon the same, “It is basically in the comic-thriller genre space. It initially starts off as a comedy but the plot takes its own twists and turns, maintaining a lot of comic moments. It’s been very interesting journey to work on this web series especially the character I am portraying is very different that I have done in the past”.

Shamita will be seen playing the role of a modern traditional woman who knows what she wants from people in the web series. We wish you strokes of luck for all your future endeavours, Shamita.
