At age 20, Shehnaaz started her career as a model and took up various modelling projects. She even participated in several modelling contests.

Shehnaaz Gill made her acting debut in 2019 with Punjabi film Kala Shah Kala. The film also featured Sargun Mehta, Jordan Sandhu and Binnu Dhillon.

Another benchmark set by the Punjabi model-actress in 2019 is that she made her Hindi television debut with Bigg Boss 13.

Shehnaaz Gill was introduced by the makers of Bigg Boss 13 as - "Yeh dikhti hai cute, magar andar se hai sherni. Aayi hai yeh Punjabi Kudi Shehnaaz Gill". On the day of the show launch, Shehnaaz Kaur Gill sang the song Dil Diya Gallan for Salman Khan on the BB stage.

Shehnaaz Gill calls herself the 'Katrina Kaif of Punjab'. She stated that she is too chubby to be a look-alike of Katrina, but she feels that she is Katrina's chubby Punjabi twin.

Shehnaaz Kaur Gill even made Salman Khan say that she is Katrina Kaif's look-alike before entering the Bigg Boss 13 house.

Over her four-months journey in the show, Shehnaaz gained the name of being the biggest "entertainer" of Bigg Boss 13. She even managed a big fan following on social media.

As the show ended on February 15, Shehnaaz was announced as the second runner up. She emerged as one of the top three finalists of the controversial reality show, after Asim Riaz and Siddharth Shukla.

Shehnaaz before leaving the house said: "'Bigg Boss' apne mujhe bahut badha naam diya hai (Bigg Boss you have given me a big name). I love you."

On the final day, before calling out Shehnaaz's name, the show's host and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan said: "'Bigg Boss' ki history main aap jaisi contestant nahi aayi hai (There has not been a contestant like you in the history of 'Bigg Boss')...I am going to announce this name with a very heavy heart."

On the personal front, her closeness with co-contestant Siddharth Shukla was widely appreciated and their hashtag #SidNaaz took over social media for months.

As of now, Sidharth and Shehnaaz seem inseparable. But will their relationship continue outside the house as well? Only time will tell.

Post "Bigg Boss 13", Shehnaaz will be seen in a new reality show "Mujhse Shaadi Karoge". The show will also star co-contestant Paras. In the new show, Shehnaaz and Paras will go on a quest to find a suitable life partner. Earlier the show was tentatively titled "Shehnaz Ka Swayamvar", and there were speculations that Sidharth will join her.

Here's wishing Shehnaaz good luck!
