Shalini Pandey on Alia Bhatt comparisons: ‘One is enough!’
Shalini Pandey rejects comparisons with Alia Bhatt, stressing her individuality. She gained fame with Arjun Reddy and later starred in Maharaj. While flattered by the admiration, she insists she wants to be recognized as herself.
Talking to Instant Bollywood, Shalini praised Alia but stated, “We don’t need another Alia. She is amazing as she is.” She added that while she admires Alia’s qualities, she doesn’t want to be boxed into a category. “I want people to see me for who I am,” she said.
On the work front, Shalini will star in Idly Kadai, directed by Dhanush. The film, featuring Nithya Menen, faces delays due to pending shoots, with no release date announced yet.
