Tropes
- Ms. Fanservice: Sherawat has established herself as a sex symbol in Bollywood for playing seductive characters, and is notable being the first Indian woman to get an offer to pose nude for Playboy and to appear on the cover. She turned down the offer in an attempt to avoid the risk of being blacklisted in the Indian film industry.
- Nom de Mom: When she picked her Stage Name (due to her real name being far too common), she adopted her mother's maiden name, to honor her support for her career.
- Star-Making Role: Her role as Simran in Murder kickstarted her career in Bollywood.
- Typecast: She's know for playing as heroines in comedic movies.
