At the 46th Television Drama Academy Awards of Japan she garnered the Best Newcomer award, one of several such wins in the ensuing years. She married in 2018, which may imply a slower pace of activities or retirement as is traditional in Japan. She had expressed the desire to marry by age 23 and when that did not happen insisted she would soon enough nonetheless. Upon marriage to an old friend she vowed to continue her career. She was attached to actor Kamiki Ryunosuke previously. She claims canned tuna as a favourite food and played badminton at high school. Shida loves to exercise and maintains a short hair so she doesn't have to put any effort into it.
