Career

Shah in 2018

Shah first worked as an assistant to choreographer Ganesh Acharya in films like Zameen and Khakee[8] and later started modelling, doing photo shoots and print ads.[9] Kannada director Harsha approached her for the film Chingari.[9] She also did an item song ("Neeli Lugadi") in the Hindi film Khuda Kasam, starring Sunny Deol and Tabu.[10] Shah made her film debut with the 2011 Kannada film Bhadra, where News18 noted, "Daisy has shown her prowess as a dancer and adds a little bit of oomph to the film."[11] The same year, she played Ammu in Bodyguard, the remake of the Malayalam film of the same name.[12] She then shot for two item songs in the Kannada film Bachchan and the Hindi film Bloody Isshq.[13]

In 2014, Shah made her Hindi film debut with the commercially successful film Jai Ho opposite Salman Khan.[14][15] Bollywood Hungama wrote, "Daisy Shah doesn't really get much scope, but you cannot ignore the fact that she's a terrific and graceful dancer." The same year, she appeared in the Kannada film Aakramana.[16] In 2015, she played Kaya opposite Karan Singh Grover, in Hate Story 3, a box office success.[17] India Today said, "Daisy Shah tries to breathe life into her Kaaya, but falls light years short of her destination."[18]

After appearing in Ramratan, Shah portrayed Sanjana in the 2018 film Race 3, a critical failure but a commercial success.[19][20] The 2019 Gujarati film Gujarat 11, earned her praises for her portrayal of a sub-inspector and football coach. Times of India noted her "earnest performance" and said that she has given "this role her 100%".[21]

In 2023, Shah made her television debut as a contestant with the stunt reality show, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 13. She ended up at the 11th place.[22][23]
