Sarah Shahi was born Aahoo Jahansouzshahi in Euless, Texas, to an Iranian father and Spanish-Iranian mother. She is a former NFL cheerleader and a descendant of a 19th-century Persian Shah. She attended Trinity High School and Southern Methodist University, studied opera and majored in English.

While working as an extra on the set of Dr. T & the Women (2000), she met director Robert Altman, who encouraged her to move to Hollywood to pursue a career as an actress. Shahi was the first ghost in Supernatural (2005), the CW paranormal drama series. She had recurring roles in several TV series, such as Alias (2001), in which she played “Jenny,” and Dawson’s Creek (1998), where she was “Sadia Shaw.” She became a fan favorite in her role as the Mexican-American DJ Carmen de la Pica Morales in the Showtime series The L Word (2004), which she joined in its second season. Sarah did not renew her contract with the show for a fourth season, and consequently, her character was written out.
