Anju, you do not need any kind of visa because your journey will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit scheme. If you plan to stay at the airport for the entire time of your transit you do not have to perform any single formality nor to fill out any kind of form. You will just walk from one to the other gate and you will not be a subject of immigration and customs inspection. You will just have to find some amusement in the transit area for the duration of your layover.
In the case if you plan to exit the airport, the first thing you will do upon landing in Shanghai will be to approach transit counter where you will formally apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets and your accommodation confirmation if you plan to have a nice rest in the hotel. After a short check you will be granted a permit and you will head to the immigration and then outside of the airport to enjoy your time on your own. Please, have in mind that the permits are issued on case by case basis and the minimum length of the layover is 8 hours.
Whatever of the two options you decide to enjoy, I wish you a nice journey.
