PUNJABI SINGER

Shehnaaz is not just a pretty face. She is very much an all-rounder. After trying her hands on acting, Shehnaaz also emerged as a popular Punjabi singer. All her songs became a massive hit.

CONTROVERSY WITH HIMANSHI KHURANA

In January this year, one of Himanshi's songs released. Shehnaaz, who works in the same industry, did not like it and publicly made fun of the song, which didn't go down well with Himanshi. Later, Shehnaaz commented on Himanshi's looks and body-shamed her by calling her overweight. She didn't spare Himanshi's parents either. Himanshi broke her silence after her parents were dragged in the controversy; she sought her revenge by pointing fingers at Shehnaz's character in a LIVE video. She was later blamed by Shehnaaz for leaking some of her photos. All this happened on social media. An upset Shehnaaz in another LIVE video accused Himanshi of mentally torturing her. Shehnaaz said that all she said was in jest and not to be taken seriously. She shared how Himanshi went personal with her and boasted about being educated and well-off unlike her. Shehnaaz said that she was even threatened by Himanshi and told she'd be sent to jail. After all the chaos, the two came face to face for the first time in the Bigg Boss 13 house.

BIGG BOSS JOURNEY

Shehnaaz was Salman’s favorite since day 1 as she was called Punjab Ki Katrina Kaif. The Punjabi singer turned actress entered the house with full-on energy and on a very high note. So much so that she started her love angle with Paras Chhabra right from the BB stage. Her first week was all about her romantic angle with Paras but it was soon interrupted as he revealed that he was in a serious relationship outside the house. This left Sana heartbroken and she soon shifted from Paras to Sidharth Shukla who became her closest friend in the house. Shehnaaz made headlines for her cute relationship with Sidharth and how the two became close on the show. But the actress lost her mind when her rival Himanshi Khurana entered the show. She hurt herself and was so disappointed and angry after seeing Himanshi that she became extremely sad. She took a while to overcome that but she came back on track with a bang. Titled entertainer and flipper, Shehnaaz made her own place in the hearts of the audience. Whatever she did, she did from her heart. She made maximum headlines for confessing Sidharth that she actually loves him but doesn’t know which kind of love it is. The actress is doing great on the show with her fun-loving nature.

Today, Shehnaaz is one of the strongest contestants inside the house and she also enjoys support from host Salman Khan. And that’s exactly why he undoubtedly deserves to be in top 5.
