Did you know that Shamita Shetty has acquired a degree in fashion designing? The actress, before embarking on films full time, had planned to pursue a career as a fashion designer. She had even completed a degree course in fashion designing at Mumbai's SNDT College and was student the college faculty was proud of.

A class mate revealed, "Shamita used to give her 100% to the projects she undertook as a fashion designer. She was brilliant at mixing and matching fabrics and would have definitely been an asset to the fashion world."

Fabrics of varied hues, printed designs and playing with ideas and giving it a creative expression was something Shamita always felt passionately about. But guess fate had something else in store for her. A film offer from the industry's best, Yashraj Films, was too tempting to turn down. Guess the rest is history.
