Baby Shalini as she was known back in the day was a precocious performer and worked with some of the biggest stars in the South like Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi. Her cute bobbed hairdo was imitated by many children at the time. When baby Shalini became Shalini, she would go on to prove her mettle with films like Alaipayuthe and Amarkalam before bidding adieu to the big screen at the peak of her career to marry the love of her life, Ajith Kumar.
