Her mother, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives star Maheep also shared the video and said, "With her unabashed enthusiasm, resilience & sparkle - My girl is all set to take over your screens soon. Give her your love & blessings as she is ready to start the journey of her FIRST FILM with @Dharmamovies this July. Watch out for the announcement of the film!"

Shanaya's friend, daughter of Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan took to the comments section to shower her with love and support. She said, "yayy", adding a heart emoji.

Before her acting debut, Shanaya doubled up as the assistant director on her cousin, actor Janhvi Kapoor's movie Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl. Shanaya's father, Sanjay had previously confirmed that she was ready for her acting debut but was waiting for the right project.

Unlike her friend Suhana Khan, daughter of Shah Rukh Khan, Shanaya chose to not go to an acting school. "Shanaya told me that going there (film school) would be a waste of three years and reasoned that most attend classes for three days and party for the rest of the week," Sanjay told Mumbai Mirror in 2019.
