Shalini on B’wood debut: Sheer luck I got noticed

“It was sheer luck that I got noticed and I can’t thank the universe enough. I was at a restaurant one day with a friend of mine and there was Shanoo (Shanoo Sharma, YRF’s casting director) sitting with a bunch of people. There was only one place available for two which was right beside Shanoo’s! Actually the table was attached to hers!

“So, we felt a little odd because it seemed like they were discussing some important stuff and I shifted the table. We sat at a different table and had our meal that’s it. We didn’t interact at all,” she said.

The actress added that the same situation repeated itself later. “I happened to go to another bistro and I saw her there again. Again, I got to sit just next to her because there wasn’t any table available and again we didn’t interact! One fine day, I was on my Instagram and I was just going through my messages. Her message was there in ‘other’ messages inbox.” Shalini said she got excited and tried to open the message and by mistake the message was deleted.“...Thankfully, I got a call from her team saying that they wanted to audition me for a film!”
