Gill has ruled the Punjabi film industry for many years. Bigg Boss 13 made her an overnight sensation among the Hindi audience, who then started recognising her as Punjab Ki Katrina Kaif, a self-proclaimed tag she had given herself. Following the show’s success and her stardom, Gill made it to Bollywood with Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Thank You For Coming. After her latest Punjabi film, Ikk Kudi, she has other Hindi projects lined up. In an exclusive interview with Zoom, Shehnaaz manifested a film with Imtiaz Ali. When a fan asked, the actress promptly revealed the film she desires to do in future.

Talking about her Bigg Boss fame, Shehnaaz told one of her fans about the reality of life after leaving the reality show’s house. She said, "Bigg Boss what you see... yes, you become famous and make a name for yourself and you gain some riches. But after that you need to change yourself. You need to work on yourself."She also shared, "It's not that after Bigg Boss you've become a star. It doesn't work like that. People work on themselves. Agar kaam karoge, aage badhoge. If you're stuck in Bigg Boss, ke maine Bigg Boss kiya life main, so I think you'll be stuck there."In a previous interview with Zoom, Shehnaaz opened up about her advice to her brother Shehbaz Badesha, who participated in Bigg Boss 19 this year. She said, "Jab vo andar jaane laga tha na toh maine usko bola tha tu ready rehna tujhe bahut log taunt marenge ki tu behan ka khata hai kyuki uski entry bhi bichaare ki pehle toh unhone bola alag hi type ki entry karva rahe the kehte hai apko aise bolna hai, maine kaha main ye sab kuch nahi bol sakti hoon, vo peeche ka peeche mud jayega, kyun jhelega apni bezati toh maine fir Sir usko lelo, vo ek script thi, logon ko lag raha hain ki maine jaake bola hain but vo bhai ko chodhne aana kyuki vo kuch vaisa planned tha, but logon ko laga maine khud se bola hain, but unhone vo script ready ki huyi thi, jo ki funny thi, but logon se serious leli."(“When he was about to enter the house, I told him to be ready because people would taunt him, saying he lives off his sister. His entry was planned differently, they asked me to say certain lines, but I refused because I didn’t want him to face unnecessary insults. It was a scripted moment meant to be funny, but people took it seriously.”)Shehnaaz’s next Punjabi film, titled Singh vs Kaur 2, releases in 2026.
