On September 19, 2021, Shomi Kaiser was arrested by RAB from her Gulshan residence in Dhaka. Her father was arrested separately. She was later remanded for interrogation.

The case took a dramatic turn when Shomi Kaiser applied for bail. The High Court granted her interim bail in October 2021, but the government challenged this, leading to a legal tug-of-war. For months, she shuttled between jail, the court, and a hospital due to reported health complications.

In a significant development in early 2022, the court allowed her to remain on judicial quarantine at her home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, later converting it to permanent bail under strict conditions. As of 2025, the case is still ongoing in lower courts, with both sides presenting evidence regarding the extent of her involvement.

Shomi is considered a fashion icon for the modern Bangladeshi woman. Her style defies fleeting trends, focusing instead on timeless elegance.

As she matured in the industry, Shomi realized the importance of creating content rather than just performing in it.
