Shamita Shetty, a talented actress and interior designer, made her film debut in 2000 with the Yash Raj Films blockbuster "Mohabbatein", directed by Aditya Chopra. Her impressive portrayal of Ishika earned her the 2001 IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year - Female. This marked the beginning of her successful career in Bollywood, with notable dance numbers in films like "Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai" (2001) and "Saathiya" (2002),which received widespread acclaim.
Shamita's acting skills were further showcased in the blockbuster hit "Zeher" (2005),where she received a nomination for the Star of the Year - Female at the Stardust awards in 2006.
