Rajesh Khanna helped her make her debut on television. TV series Dekh Bhai Dekh, which ran for a year after debuting in 1993, was produced by Jaya Bachchan and had Shammi play the role of “chhoti nani.”
Shammi was last seen in 2013 film Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi, in which she played the role of a Parsi woman. Miss India, Coolie No 1, The Burning Train and Hum are some of her other works in the industry.
Her funeral was held at Mumbai’s Oshiwara cemetery, which was attended by celebrities such as Sushant Singh, Farah Khan and Boman Irani among others. May her soul rest in peace.
