"The most special reaction was from Gauri," Shalini recalled. "She called me while I was in Bombay, just before Manish Malhotra’s Diwali party, and said, ‘I’ve seen it. It’s amazing. You’re incredible.’ Gauri was genuinely concerned, and when she told me how much she loved the show, it really touched my heart. She knows me better than most, so hearing that from her was incredibly special."

Shalini added, “I’ve received such heartfelt messages from women everywhere," she shared. "They say, ‘We’re inspired by your freedom, your spontaneity, your inner child.’ People seem to connect with my choice to live freely, without hesitation or fear of judgment.

But the most powerful feedback comes when people recognize my authenticity and tell me things about myself that I might not have even realized. That’s been truly amazing."

Shalini concluded, "It’s beautiful to see people responding to me just being myself, without filters."
