Born into an eclectic family of bureaucrats, politicians, and social activists, Shilpa began her acting career during her school days. Her first major production was “Meera” (a play based on the life of a 16th Century Indian female saint) directed by National School of Drama’s former Director M. K. Raina. This play gave her the confidence to pursue her passion in theatre while she continued some serious academic work at the Miranda House College in Delhi.

Following her passion to transform the world through art, Shilpa continued to perform with acclaimed directors and playwrights such as Girish Karnad, Kirti Jain, Mahesh Dattani, and Arvind Gaur. She captivated her audience with her performance regardless of the venue, which ranged from the streets of Delhi to basement studios to National Theatre Festivals. During this time Shilpa associated with major theater production groups like Asmita and Kshitij.

Shilpa’s journey into motion pictures began with Sabiha Sumar’s "Khamosh Pani" (Int'l Title: Silent Waters which won 15 International Awards including the Best Film at Swiss Locarno Film Festival). Zubeida (Shilpa’s character) is an 18 years old Muslim girl in Pakistan whose young lover becomes a religious fanatic. This film took the Film Festivals by storm with its realistic portrayal of a culture and a society deeply religious and fanatical, and revealed to its audience the core struggle of women.

Most recently she played Bindia Naik against Kabir Khan (played by Shahrukh Khan) in the Bollywood mega-hit "Chak de India." This movie produced by Yashraj Productions and directed by Shimit Amin depicts the struggle and triumph of the Indian Women’s Hockey Team. The inspiring message of this film created a revolution in several facets of Indian society including sports. Theatres were packed for months with this “block-buster” and the new fan club included the first woman President of India.

Shilpa and her work have won several prestigious awards. She continues to act and have a positive impact on the society with her work. She is also involved with several humanitarian projects in India by giving her voice to create awareness.
