Best Shefali Shah Movies
Human
Shah portrays Dr Gauri Nath, a neurosurgeon, in this series which also stars Kirthi Kulhari as a cardiac surgeon. The series demonstrates how both of them become trapped in the confusion of human drug testing and how, at first, they are not aware of the drug's severe side effects.
This series' primary goal is to inform the viewer about the prevalence of medical fraud in India and how a thriving business has developed around them. Shah plays this role with the ease of an experienced actress, using shades of grey and white.
Dil Dhadakne Do
Shah plays an Indian homemaker in the film Dil Dhadakne Do who cannot leave her marriage because she lacks the confidence to do so. Anil Kapoor, who plays her husband, is blatantly having an affair, but she refuses to divorce him. Shah is seen chipping away at her emotions in a scenario that hit home for many of us.
Delhi Crime
In the first season of this top-rated series, Shah played the lead role of Vartika Chaturvedi, a DCP charged with managing a gang rape case. Nirbhaya case served as the inspiration for this season of Delhi Crime. In one of her interviews, she claimed that this role helped her grow as a person and actress.
Delhi Crime also took home the Best Drama Series Emmy Award in 2020, proving to be a game-changer for the actor and her other co-stars in their careers.
Ajeeb Daastaans
Alongside Manav Kaul and Sara Arjun, Shah portrayed the lead role in the fourth and last part of the film, Ankahi. Samaira (Sara Arjun) is on the verge of being deaf, and Shefali portrays Natasha, Samaira's mother. Rohan, Shefali's husband, is a clueless man who won't teach his daughter sign language. On the other side, Natasha portrays as a devoted and helpful mother. The plot of this movie centres on Natasha, a married woman, and her love affair with a deaf photographer. It is so moving to see Shah play this conflicted character.
Darlings
Shah plays Shamshunissa, the mother of Alia Bhatt, in her recently released movie Darlings. Domestic abuse is something that Bhatt's character Badrunissa has experienced in this dark comedy. Shamshunissa never stops motivating her daughter to leave her husband, sometimes even going so far as to demand that she murder him. The dark humour necessary for Shah's character has been fully portrayed in the movie. Shah stands out among Darlings' solid performance and storytelling by the lead actors.
