Shalini Pandey created a powerful and stunning impact with her debut film Arjun Reddy. Her red hot romance, intense lip-locks and intimate scenes with Genex Star Vijay Devarakonda in the film became a rage among the movie lovers and critics.
Shalini recently entertained with her looks and performance in Kalyan Ram's 118 after sizzling in cameos in Mahanati and NTR Kathanayakudu. When asked about doing only fewer films and the long gap after Arjun Reddy, the starlet stated that she will sign films, only if she is pleased with scripts.
“I did Mahanati and Kathanayakudu. Though they are cameos, they got me good recognition. I got a good role in 118. After Arjun Reddy, I heard many stories. I did not like any of them and so didn't sign them. Had I been in the profession only for money, I would have signed all the offers. But I need self-satisfaction apart from money. That is the reason why I am treading carefully. I do not think big or small film, if I like the story. One should taste a flop if the story is not good though it comes under a big banner."
Shalini Pandey is presently doing handful of Tamil films and she is also part of Anushka and Madhavan’s multi-lingual film Silence.
