When contacted, Shalini told us, “Yes, I am shooting for Fear Files for Zee TV. This phase of life is smoother when compared to the tough schedule of daily soaps. Otherwise, I am happy and contented doing commercial ads, the recent one being one with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan for Complan. I would want to return to the daily soap scenario, but with a challenging role.” On the Fear Files shoot, she said, “My little son will get kidnapped owing to a certain paranormal activity in the village. The story will be the fight of the lady to get her son back.” Shalini has recently shot for a Hindi movie which is a horror cum thriller subject. Talking about it, she averred, “All I can say at the moment is that the movie is produced by Shootstring Productions. I play one of the leads in the movie. It is the story of a doctor and the three women in his life, with of course the horror element being prominent. The film is expected to release this March (2014).” We wish you luck, Shalini.
