==Career==
Shalini started her career as a child artist in ''[[Ente Mamattikkuttiyammakku]]'' and she acted in all the films under the direction of [[Fazil (director)|Fazil]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kunchacko Boban Celebrates 25 Years Of Aniyathipravu At Nna Thaan Case Kodu Location See Pictures |url=https://www.ottplay.com/amp/news/kunchacko-boban-celebrates-25-years-of-aniyathipravu-at-nna-thaan-case-kodu-location-see-pictures/447b40f3ba297 |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=www.ottplay.com}}</ref> She also played the lead character in the TV serial ''Amloo'' telecast in the late 1980s on Doordarshan.<ref>{{Cite web |date=Nov 20, 2020 |title=Retro Ticket |url=https://mobile.twitter.com/retroticket/status/1329747084640014336 |archive-date= |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=Twitter |language=}}</ref> Her iconic hairstyle, a short bob with a front fringe, is still popularly known as the “Baby Shalini hair cut”.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shekar |first=Anjana |date=November 30, 2018 |title=Nadhiya hoops, Khushbu blouses, '96' kurta: A look at fashion inspired by Tamil cinema |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/nadhiya-hoops-khushbu-blouses-96-kurta-look-fashion-inspired-tamil-cinema-92482 |website=The News Minute}}</ref>


Later she appeared in highly successful films in Malayalam and Tamil such as ''[[Kaliyoonjal]]'' (1997), ''[[Kadhalukku Mariyadhai]]'' (1997), ''[[Amarkalam]]'' (1999), ''[[Niram]]'' (1999), ''[[Kannukkul Nilavu]]'' (2000), ''[[Alaipayuthey (film)|Alaipayuthey]]'' (2000) and ''[[Piriyadha Varam Vendum]]'' (2001). She won the [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award Special Prize|Tamil Nadu State Film Special Award for Best Actress]] for her role in [[Mani Ratnam]]'s ''[[Alaipayuthey (film)|Alaipayuthey]]''.
Shalini soon went to study, and she returned to acting with ''[[Aniyathipravu]]'', which was a blockbuster. In her next film ''[[Kaliyoonjal]]'' (1997), she co-starred with [[Mammootty]] and [[Dileep (actor)|Dileep]] and it released to mixed reviews. After the success of the Malayalam ''[[Aniyathipravu]]'', Fazil remade it in Tamil as ''[[Kadhalukku Mariyadhai]]'' (1997). Initially, Fazil was keen on casting a débutante in the lead female role, but Shalini insisted that she should also star in the Tamil version.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cscsarchive.org:8081/MediaArchive/art.nsf/(docid)/5B14521EB99AB01765256940004C8B0E |title=Penchant for riveting romances - The Hindu |date=20 June 2004 |access-date=12 July 2012}}{{dead link|date=May 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>  Like the Malayalam version, ''[[Kadhalukku Mariyadhai]]'' was also a blockbuster, and Shalini’s performance was also praised with Indolink.com recommending the film and citing that "Shalini returns in this film with a good performance".<ref>{{cite web |title=Kaadhalukku Mariyaadhai: Movie Review |url=http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/Reviews/articles/kmariyad.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120610003624/http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/Reviews/articles/kmariyad.htm |archive-date=10 June 2012 |access-date=12 July 2012 |publisher=Indolink.com}}</ref>


==Early life==

The success of the film ''Kadhalukku Mariyadhai'' prompted Fazil to make another film with the lead pair, Vijay and Shalini, in 2000: ''[[Kannukkul Nilavu]],'' which was a flop at the box office.''<ref>{{Cite web |title=How did the 25th films of Ajith, Vijay and Suriya turn out? |url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-14/how-did-the-25th-films-of-ajith-vijay-and-suriya-turn-out.html}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Tamil Film Statistics - 2001 |url=https://www.cooljilax.com/2001/stat2001.html |access-date=2022-04-30 |website=www.cooljilax.com}}</ref>'' Under Mani Ratnam’s direction, Shalini acted in arguably her most popular film ''[[Alaipayuthey]]'' (2000).

Shalini (born 20 November 1979), also known as Baby Shalini, is a former Indian child artist and actress who predominantly worked in Malayalam and Tamil films. During the 80s, Shalini was inarguably the most successful child artist in the Malayalam and Tamil film industries.[2] In the late-90s (after taking a brief hiatus from child acting), Shalini was featured in leading roles in Malayalam and Tamil films. She married her Amarkalam co-star, Ajith Kumar, on April 24, 2000 and bid adieu to films after her marriage.[3]

Early life

Shalini was born in a Protestant Malayali Christian family to Babu and Alice on 20 November 1979.[1][4][5][6] Her father is from Kollam.[7] Her father migrated to Madras with an ambition of becoming an actor and the family settled there. Later, he fulfilled his ambition through his children.[8] Shalini attended Fatima Matriculation Higher Secondary School (K.G to 8th), Adarsh Vidyalaya, Chennai (9th to 10th) and Church Park, Chennai (11th and 12th). She completed college at Annamalai University.[2] She is the middle child. Her younger sister Shamili and her elder brother Richard are also actors in the film industry. Shalini has stated that she enjoys badminton and has played in a few state-level tournaments.[9][10]

Career

Shalini started her career as a child artist in Ente Mamattikkuttiyammakku and she acted in all the films under the direction of Fazil.[11] She also played the lead character in the TV serial Amloo telecast in the late 1980s on Doordarshan.[12] Her iconic hairstyle, a short bob with a front fringe, is still popularly known as the “Baby Shalini hair cut”.[13]

Shalini soon went to study, and she returned to acting with Aniyathipravu, which was a blockbuster. In her next film Kaliyoonjal (1997), she co-starred with Mammootty and Dileep and it released to mixed reviews. After the success of the Malayalam Aniyathipravu, Fazil remade it in Tamil as Kadhalukku Mariyadhai (1997). Initially, Fazil was keen on casting a débutante in the lead female role, but Shalini insisted that she should also star in the Tamil version.[14] Like the Malayalam version, Kadhalukku Mariyadhai was also a blockbuster, and Shalini’s performance was also praised with Indolink.com recommending the film and citing that "Shalini returns in this film with a good performance".[15]

For the movie Amarkalam (1999), Saran initially approached Shalini, who was studying at the time and she refused, however, after a three-month pursuit, he finally got her to sign on as well.[16] She was offered a role in Padayappa,[17] which she rejected. The success of the film Kadhalukku Mariyadhai prompted Fazil to make another film with the lead pair, Vijay and Shalini, in 2000: Kannukkul Nilavu, which was a flop at the box office.[18][19] Under Mani Ratnam’s direction, Shalini acted in arguably her most popular film Alaipayuthey (2000). She subsequently won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award Special Prize for her role in the film. In 2001, her last film Piriyadha Varam Vendum was released, a remake of the Malayalam movie Niram, also starring Shalini.

Personal life

In 1999, during the shoot of Saran's Amarkalam, Shalini began to date her co-star Ajith Kumar. He proposed to Shalini in June 1999 (before their movie release in Aug. 1999) and, following consultations of both sides of the families, she accepted.[20] They got married on 24 April 2000 at Chennai. After their marriage, Shalini retired as an actress following the completion of two unfinished projects. The couple have two children: a daughter born on 3 January 2008 and a son born on 2 March 2015.[21][22]
