Shivaleeka's fascination with films, and Bollywood in particular, started at a very early age. She comes from a Punjabi family, born and brought up in Mumbai. Her father is a businessman and her mother was a headmistress of a school in Mumbai. Shivaleeka’s Grandfather passed away when her father was of a very young age; but was briefly a part of the film industry back in 1967 and had produced a Bollywood film titled – Sheba and Hercules.
With a keen interest in films and an eye for detail, Shivaleeka kick started her career in the film industry immediately after the completion of her graduation. She pursued her degree from Mumbai University with majors in English and Psychology; while also enrolled herself in Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares acting school for a diploma in acting.
Her decision to become an actress was briefly paused to understand the dynamics of film making and being on an actual set. During this period she got the opportunity to become an assistant director on 2 major projects - Kick (2014) and Housefull 3 (2016), under the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment banner. After the completion of the projects, she started auditioning and made her Bollywood debut with a romantic thriller ‘Yeh Saali Aashiqui’ (2019). She was also nominated for Filmfare Best Female Debut for her first film. Her Second film Khuda Haafiz directed by Faruk Kabir was released on Disney + Hotstar, due to the pandemic and, was showered with a lot of love and appreciation from audiences across the globe. Her role of Nargis in Khuda Haafiz will be reprised in Khuda Haafiz part II, set to be shot in 2021.
From the industry, I think, Katrina Kaif has a phenomenal physique and is super fit!
