Shama Sikander turns a year older today (August 4) and the actress is currently in Venice, making the most of her birthday week. Earlier this year, Shama broke the internet due to her drastic transformation from a simpleton to a sex bombshell. Her style evolution surprised everyone as this was not how she started her career.
'. She gained fame due to her character of ‘Pooja Mehta' in the popular show, which was aired on
Sony Entertainment Television
.
Dressed in a salwar kameez, Shama's portrayal of the simple and straightforward Pooja, who strives to fulfill her dreams in challenging circumstances, won her many popular awards. Even though the actress kept working in the entertainment industry after the successful series, it was only earlier this year in January when she made people sit up and take notice of her.
Clad in a bikini, Shama made headlines for her sudden transformation. Wearing skimpy outfits and sporting a glamorous look in all her pictures, she looked more than ready to take on the world. This was followed by her short film,
Sexaholic
which dealt with a married woman who had multiple intimate relationships because of her addiction to sex. Shama played a nymphomaniac in it. She now has another project in the pipeline.
On the personal front, Shama also surprised her fans when she announced that she has got engaged to her new-found love, James Milliron. We wish the actress a fabulous year ahead.
