Personal life
Shamili and her brother Richard Rishi are also employed in the film industry. Shalini has stated that she enjoys badminton and has played in a few state-level tournaments.[2][3]
In 1999, during the shoot of Saran's Amarkalam, Ajith began to date his co-star Shalini. At that time, their involvement made him a regular subject of tabloid gossip, a role to which he was accustomed following his previous relationship.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). Her performance was praised especially Indolink.com recommending the film and citing that "Shalini returns in this film with a good performance".[4] The success of the film prompted the director to make another film with the lead pair in 2000, Kannukkul Nilavu, however the film became a box office failure despite positive reviews. Her next film was Amarkalam, Saran initially approached Shalini, who was studying at the time and she refused but after a three month pursuit, he finally got her to sign on as well.[5] She was offered the role in Padayappa[6] which she rejected.
