Sneha was born on 12th august 1987 in Muscat, Oman to the parents of Indian origin. She has two brothers and a sister. As she grew up, her uncanny resemblance with top Indian actress Aishwarya Rai made her parents realize that she could make something great in her career in acting, so Sneha along with her mother and sister shifted base to Mumbai again from Muscat.
In Mumbai, she attended Durelo Convent High School in the suburbs of Bandra and then joined Mithibai Motiram Kundani College, Mumbai. Though dancing, modeling, acting is her passion, she was not sure that opportunity knocks the door so early to be screened on silver screen. Her entry to the Bollywood is very interesting. She once got a call and was going to be ignorant thinking that may be a prank call, but she receive the call and was stunned that the person on-line was Salman Khan. What a big encouragement that would be for a naïve like Sneha, when a superstar himself offer to act with her.

Personal Quotes
On being compared with her looks to Aishwarya Rai: "When people see a copy of the Taj Mahal, they say it looks like the Taj Mahal, isn't it? So, that's an advantage. But when they compare me with Aishwarya, I think they should limit it to the screen, nothing else. I am new to this profession and hence, there is no competition."
On her experience of working with Salman Khan and Sohail Khan: "They are completely different from the image they have of being arrogant. They all believe in hard work. Salman is a bit flirtatious, he loves to play pranks on the sets. Sohail, on the other hand, is more sober. Having worked with them, I have also imbibed some of their good qualities."
