“I am playing Janhvi Kapoor’s mom. She is a traditional and sophisticated Rajasthani lady. I am absolutely elated to work with (filmmaker Karan Johar’s) Dharma Productions as it’s every actor’s dream. It’s my comeback in films as post-marriage, I had started doing only serials,” said Shalini.

“I have been a mom to a lot of new actors and actresses on TV and by the grace of God they all have made it big. Hope the magic continues. Janhvi is a sweetheart and very loving and a dedicated actor too,” she added.
