After
appearances in several stage performances including her father's play
Unspoken Dialogues, Shazahn appeared in several national advertisements,
whilst auditioning for roles in Hindi films. After a film with Vivek
Vaswani failed to materialize, she successfully auditioned for the part
in Yash Raj Studio's Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year opposite Ranbir
Kapoor. Shazhan played Sherena in the film, the first customer who
treats the titular character with respect during his job as a salesman.
Although she played the leading female role, her screen-time was minimal
leading to critics claiming that her role had little scope. The film
opened to positive reviews, but the lack of publicity became a reason
for it becoming a failure commercially at the box office. Text Via
