She did her schooling at the St. Anthony's Girls' High School, Mumbai.[9] After completing her degree in commerce from Sydenham college, Shamita did a fashion designing diploma from SNDT college Mumbai. After this, she started her internship with ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra, but Manish saw a spark in her and suggested to prep her for her acting career. In 2011, Shamita decided to follow her passion in Interior design[10] and did her first solo project by designing Royalty,[11] a club in Mumbai. Later, her love for interior design pushed her to do a diploma from Central Saint Martins and Inchbald School of Design in London.[12] In 2021, She started dating Raqesh Bapat whom she met on Bigg Boss OTT

She made her film debut in 2000 with the Yash Raj Films movie Mohabbatein,[13] which was directed by Aditya Chopra.
