Shaina is pursuing a career in fashion design as well as in politics. She says that fashion design is her profession while politics is her passion.

Shaina's mother, Munira Chudasama, has been in the fashion design industry for many decades. Shaina began designing fashion at the age of eighteen when her mother was unwell; the collection of outfits she designed was a success. Shaina runs the Golden Thimble Boutique, which was set up by her mother, in the upmarket Kala Ghoda area of Mumbai. It is one of the oldest boutiques in Mumbai city. She does not like to design for Bollywood films but rather for individuals. Her clients include celebrities such as: Aishwarya Rai, Juhi Chawla, and Mahima Chaudhry. Her main fashion designing interest is in sarees. She specialises in traditional sarees which include: Chanderis, Paithanis, Chiffons, Silks, and Cottons. Shaina is quoted as saying: "It [saree] is ours, it belongs to us. It is the most flattering garment where a thin person can look voluptuous and a bulky person can camouflage all the unseemly bulges. The younger generation need to be introduced to the garment." She holds a record in the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest draping of a saree. Shaina is often referred to as Queen of Drapes because of her fifty-four different ways of draping a saree. Indian women traditionally wear a saree over a petticoat, but in one of her styles, Shaina wears a saree over trousers. She says there are no set rules regarding how to wear saree. Women can wear saree over jeans, chudidar or tapered skirt in combination with choli. One of her other ways is to wear two sarees at a time.

For younger, modern Indian women, who may find it cumbersome to wear a six-yard saree, she has designed ready-to-wear sarees. Shaina does not use swarovski(crystals) on her sarees but does employ embroidery, sequins, and kundans to match them with blouses of different styles ranging from halterneck to spaghetti strap, choli, and long choli. Her family has employed craftsmen for many decades who now work on sarees she has designed.

Shaina was a student of Political Science. She says that she has been interested in politics since she was a child. On 14 September 2004, Shaina joined Bharatiya Janata Party in the presence of BJP leader Gopinath Munde. She was made president of the newly created Health and Cultural Cell of the BJP. Her father, Nana Chudasama, was a well known critic of BJP and its leader Narendra Modi for its handling of the post-Godhra riots. When asked why she chose BJP, Shaina told The Economic Times, "Why not the BJP? It is the most progressive party and also secular in accepting me – daughter of a Muslim mother, Hindu father and married to a Marwari Jain." Shaina contested 2004 Maharashtra State Assembly election against Baba Siddique of the Indian National Congress for the Vandre assembly seat, but lost.

She was appointed BJP's spokesperson for the city of Mumbai in February 2007. In 2008, she became BJP's spokesperson for the Maharashtra state. In the 2009 Maharashtra State Assembly election, Shaina hoped to get a ticket from Malabar Hill constituency, but the BJP leadership preferred three-time sitting MLA Mangal Lodha. In March 2010, she became a member of the National Executive Council of the BJP. In April 2013, she became national spokesperson of the BJP and was included in the panel of spokespersons to participate in television debates on behalf of the party. In May 2013, Shaina was appointed treasurer of the BJP's Maharashtra unit. In Feb 2014, she was in contention for the Rajya Sabha MP seat, but considering the upcoming General Election, and Dalit votes, the NDA leadership chose Ramdas Athawale of Republican Party of India. Shaina was asked to run against Priya Dutt of the Indian National Congress from Mumbai North Central constituency for Lok Sabha election, 2014 but she refused feeling that the fight would be "too tough" for her in a minority dominated constituency. In June 2015, she was re-appointed treasurer of BJP Maharashtra for a second term.
