Virmani began her career as a sub-editor in The Times of India in Jaipur in 1987. A few months later she made journalistic history when she filed the story on what happened in Deorala village, Rajasthan. "The news of how a young widow, Roop Kanwar, was burnt on the funeral pyre of her husband led to the ban on Sati being reinforced and this turned out to be a watershed in the women's liberation movement in the country. Virmani might have made journalistic history but she decided to move away from the print media. "Perhaps if I had been a feature writer, things might have been different. But the desk job was stultifying," she says. The next year she won a scholarship to do a Masters degree in Development Communication at the Cornell University, United States. She tried her hand at film making there and her 20-minute student film "Have a Nice Day," was a personal narrative of her alienation, as an Indian student trying to come to terms with North American culture. Returning to India the next year, she learnt the craft of film making. She said "I was keen to engage in communication that would break down literacy barriers. Films seemed to be the best way of doing that."
Shabnam's camera has consistently and evocatively captured the suffering and the dignity of the rural women of India. "When Women Unite," for instance, portrayed the successful anti-liquor agitation by rural women in Andhra Pradesh while "Tu Zinda Hai" depicted the success of women activists in Madhya Pradesh. In a series of eight 1 minute films, which were telecast on major television networks in India,Bol conveyed the agony of victims of domestic violence and succeeded in spreading awareness.
She was conferred this award for, "An insightful film that introduces us to the various cults that have grown around Kabir, the mystic weaver and saint. It explores the nuances of India's argumentative tradition as exemplified by Kabir's dohas and traces the eventful journey of one man caught in an Orwellian dilemma as he is elevated to the status of a cult leader, torn between the inevitable trappings of hierarchy that run paradoxical to the simple philosophy of Kabir".
The films (Had-Anhad: Journeys with Ram & Kabir, Koi Sunta Hai: Journeys with Kumar & Kabir,Chalo Hamara Des: Journeys with Kabir & Friends are interwoven in significant ways, but each can be viewed independently.
