In a candid conversation with Brut, Shalini delved into her personal insecurities. She admitted that, for a long time, she felt self-conscious about her nose, perceiving it as somewhat prominent.

Her insecurity even affected her smile, as she feared it would emphasize her nose’s shape. However, after reading that a pronounced nose often symbolizes a strong personality, Shalini found confidence and embraced her distinctive features.
