She revealed that Shahrukh Khan's wife had called her and told her that she loved the series.

"Gauri Khan Called Me..."

Speaking to News18, Shalini gets candid about the love and feedback for the series she got. She reveals the reaction of Gauri Khan and said, "The most special reaction came from Gauri. She called me while I was in Bombay, just before Manish Malhotra's Diwali party. ‘I've seen it. It's amazing. You're incredible.' She was genuinely concerned for me, and when she told me how much she loved the show, it really touched my heart. Gauri knows me better than most, so hearing that from her was very special."

"It's Incredibly Meaningful To Me..."

She added, "I've received such heartfelt messages from women everywhere. They say, ‘We're inspired by you—your freedom, your spontaneity, your inner child.' I think people love that I live without hesitation, without the fear of judgment. It's incredibly meaningful to me that viewers are connecting with that."

"The Most Powerful Feedback..."

Highlighting the love, she received for her lifestyle, she mentioned, "Of course, there are so many messages about the hair, the clothes, the makeup, and the art, and those are all things I love and have fun with. But the most powerful feedback is when people see who I am and tell me things about myself that even I might not have fully realized. That has been truly amazing. It's beautiful to see people responding to me just being myself, without filters."

Shalini featured alongside Kalyani Chawla and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni as a part of the Delhi group in the latest season of the Netflix show, which brought back the original Mumbai ‘wives' Maheep Kapoor, Seema Sajdeh, Bhavana Pandey and Neelam Kothari. Shalini's eccentricities made her a standout on the show and attracted a lot of attention from her fellow cast members.
