 Her husband's directorial ventures such as "Heera" (1973), "Dharam Kanta", and "Daata" were successful.Shammi made a mistake by not accepting offers from other directors, and due to this she started getting fewer offers to act in films in the period between 1972 and 1979.Shammi became pregnant two times, but both times she miscarried, and therefore she and Sultan Ahmed did not have any children.
