Shalini
Pandey
caught
everyone's
attention
as
Vijay
Deverakonda's
love
interest
Preeti
in
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga's
Telugu
blockbuster
Arjun
Reddy.
Now,
the
actress
is
all
set
to
take
Bollywood
by
storm
with
her
Hindi
debut,
Yash
Raj
Films'
Jayeshbhai
Jordaar
opposite
Ranveer
Singh.
Lately,
the
actress
has
been
looking
her
fittest
best
and
setting
social
media
on
fire
with
her
galmorous
pictures.
However,
Shalini
says
that
she
has
never
felt
the
pressure
to
look
a
certain
way
for
the
industry.
Speaking
about
her
stunning
transformation,
Shalini
said,
"I
have
always
been
confident
of
my
physique
and
I
never
really
paid
attention
to
what
people
were
saying
about
it.
I
loved
whichever
phase
I
was
in
physically
and
never
really
put
pressure
on
myself
to
be
a
certain
body
type."
The
actress
admitted
that
women
are
unnecessarily
scrutinised
for
how
they
look
which
is
wrong.
She
said
that
she
is
happy
about
how
she
is
looking
right
now
and
feeling
good
in
her
head.
"I
feel
women
are
subjected
to
a
lot
of
pressure
to
be
a
certain
way
physically
and
that's
not
right.
So,
I
don't
really
look
at
this
as
a
transformation.
I
look
at
it
as
a
phase
that
has
been
achieved
for
how
I
needed
to
be
seen
on
screen
for
my
role.
However,
I'm
happy
about
how
I'm
looking
right
now
and
feeling
good
in
my
head
too,"
the
actress
said.
She
further
revealed
that
she
has
been
health
conscious
all
her
life
and
added,
"I
have
mostly
been
a
healthy
eater
almost
all
my
life.
I
was
always
into
sports
and
I
started
swimming
since
the
5th
standard.
I
was
into
a
lot
of
sports
actually
like
badminton
and
volleyball
and
others.
I
was
quite
an
outdoor
kind
of
a
kid.
So
yes,
I
have
been
a
fitness
freak
since
ever."
The
actress
also
opened
up
on
how
she
knocked
off
some
extra
pounds
and
shared,"For
this
particular
weight
loss,
I
got
on
a
meal
plan
and
luckily
I
was
doing
a
film
which
required
immense
amount
of
dance
rehearsals
that
added
to
my
weight
loss.
So,
there
is
nothing
specific
that
I
did
to
shed
my
weight
but
I
feel
the
meal
plan
worked
really
well.
I
was
dancing
for
around
four
hours
daily
and
that's
a
lot
of
cardio
which
helped
me
a
lot."
Meanwhile,
Shalini
is
quite
excited
for
her
big
Hindi
debut
and
said
that
she
is
'relishing' the
excitement
to
see
her
film
release
in
theatres
and
isn't
feeling
the
pressure
of
expectations.
"I've
always
looked
forward
to
working
in
films
and
I've
always
enjoyed
the
process
of
acting
and
filmmaking.
So,
I
wouldn't
say
that
my
big
screen
Hindi
debut
is
putting
me
under
any
pressure.
I
would
actually
call
it
excitement
because
I'm
always
euphoric
and
I'm
definitely
looking
forward
to
the
release
of
the
film.
So,
I'm
actually
very,
very,
excited
to
see
how
people
will
receive
the
film
and
my
performance.
I
have
really
worked
hard
for
it."
Shalini
further
added
that
she
is
comfortable
to
alter
her
body
type
as
an
artiste
to
enhance
her
on-screen
performances.
Speaking
about
how
she
wants
her
performances
to
speak
for
herself,
Shalini
added,
"I'm
an
actor
who
invests
a
lot
of
energy
and
passion
into
every
project
that
I
pick.
I
want
my
performances
to
speak
for
itself
and
I
would
push
myself
into
doing
anything
to
deliver
a
performance
that
will
hopefully
be
noticed
and
talked
about.
I
have
no
issues
with
altering
my
body
type
if
the
script
and
my
director
wants
me
to
look
a
certain
way
on
screen."
"There
can
be
immense
hormonal
changes
while
transforming
your
body
because,
you
know,
you
are
putting
your
body
under
a
lot
of
pressure
when
you
are
adding
or
shedding
weight.
However,
I'd
still
go
for
it
if
the
script
demands
it
because
if
my
character
is
required
to
be
looking
a
certain
way
then
why
not.
It
will
only
help
me
deliver
the
most
authentic
performance
on
screen,"
the
actress
signed
off.
