Shamita Shetty’s bollywood Journey

Promising Debut:

Entered bollywood with Mohabbatein (2000), sharing screen space with amitabh bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.

Despite a grand start, her career graph struggled to rise steadily.


Unreleased Projects:

Completed four films early in her career with stars like Sanjay Dutt, Chandrachur Singh, and R. Madhavan.

Unfortunately, none of these films were released, which badly affected her career momentum.


String of Flops & Lost Opportunities:

After Mohabbatein, most of her projects underperformed at the box office.

Several delays and shelved projects hampered her visibility in the industry.


Recent Work – The Tenant:

Released after multiple delays.

Screened in very limited theatres with minimal publicity.

Failed to create a strong impact.


Her Approach Towards Work:

Shamita openly admits to reaching out to filmmakers and casting directors herself.

Believes there is no shame in expressing one’s desire for roles.

Sees this as a reflection of her patience and determination to keep trying.


Comparison with shilpa Shetty:

Admits that being compared to her elder sister shilpa shetty affected her initially.

While shilpa was seen as “pure and ideal,” Shamita was often labeled “spoiled.”

This created confusion about her own identity in her younger years.


Finding Her Identity:

Faced the challenge of individuality since childhood.

Gradually accepted her uniqueness and stopped letting comparisons define her.

Now confident about her personality, considering herself and shilpa to have different qualities.

Believes every individual, even within the same family, has their own distinct path.
