While she was drawn to the arts as a child, including singing and dancing (she is trained in Bharatanatyam), she was not drawn to acting. Her first acting experience occurred when she was 10 years old, when her schoolteacher's playwright husband asked Shah's mother if she would allow her daughter to play a character based on Damien Thorn from The Omen (1976). Shah took the part with her mother's permission and would not act again for several years. After finishing school, she enrolled at Mithibai College in Vile Parle, where she studied science but spent the majority of her time working.
