One such name that resonates with me is Daisy Shah. Her story is an inspiring blend of passion, perseverance, and a dash of serendipity.


Every hopeful performer yearns for a grand entrance in Bollywood, attracting plenty of notice. Over time, renowned actor Salman Khan has also ushered in talents like Bhagyashree, Sneha Ullal, Zareen Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, and others into the industry. Today, we’re discussing one such actress who made her Bollywood debut alongside Sikandar and now chooses to take on select roles.

In addition to Hindi films, she has also taken on roles in Kannada and Gujarati movies. Let’s proceed to explore the details of her career trajectory.

Born and raised in Mumbai, Daisy has harbored a deep love for dancing since her school years. This affection led her, at some point, to find herself on the sets of a Bollywood film as an extra. Interestingly, her dance trainer had informed the producers about her skills, resulting in her being part of the dance troupe, as she shared in a recent interview with Hindustan Times.

Later, she aided Acharya in movies such as Zameen and Khakee. Interestingly, she also featured as a backup dancer in Tere Naam. Furthermore, her career expanded into modeling, photoshoots, and numerous advertising campaigns. Originally, her acting debut was set for 2010 with the Kannada film Chingari, but this role was ultimately taken by Deepika Kamaiah instead.

That same year, Neeli Lugadi performed a unique dance routine in the movie Khuda Kasam directed by Sunny Deol and Tabu. Later in 2011, Daisy made her debut in Kannada cinema with the film Bhadra starring Prajwal Devaraj, and subsequently featured in multiple other films.

Yet, the actress found considerable recognition with her first Bollywood film, Jai Ho, released in 2014. This was followed by Hate Story 3, where she acted alongside Karan Singh Grover in 2015, and Race 3 in 2018. Later, in the year 2023, she stepped into television, participating in a reality show based on stunts, titled Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 13.
