Shalini Pandey, who will soon be seen in her big-screen Hindi film debut in Ranveer Singh starrer ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’, has wowed everyone with her physical transformation. She is looking her fittest best and her glamorous pictures on social media have stunned everyone. Shalini, who shot to fame with her performance in ‘Arjun Reddy’, confidently says that she has never felt the pressure to look a certain way for the industry. Shalini says, “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.”
She admits that women are unnecessarily scrutinised for how they look. “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.” Shalini says she has been health conscious all her life. The actress says, “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.”
Shalini adds, “For this particular weight loss, I got on a meal plan and luckily I was doing a film which required an 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.” Shalini is super excited for Jayeshbhai Jordaar’s big-screen release in which she is starring opposite superstar Ranveer Singh. She says she is ‘relishing’ the excitement to see her film release in theatres and isn’t feeling the pressure of expectations. Ranveer has hailed Jayeshbhai to be a ‘miracle script’.
