Who is Shalini Pandey? 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar' To Release In May, Trailer Out

Shalini Pandey is all set to make her Bollywood debut with a Yash Raj film production Jayeshbhai Jordaar. The film which will release on May 13, 2022, sees Pandey playing the role of firebrand actor Ranveer Singh's wife. The dramedy directed by Divyang Thakkar surrounds Jayesh Parekh and his family including a daughter and wife Kinjal. The couple has to go through shenanigans only for his wife to successfully give birth because their child is a girl and his parents—played by Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah—are very regressive and want a male grandchild.

The trailer begins with Jayesh's father addressing a meeting of the Panchayat where a girl speaks about how inebriated men create a scene outside their school and the blame is conveniently shifted upon fragrant soaps used by women. And the hilarity ensues when Jayeshbhai takes us on a ride showing his life. Although it tickles your funnybones, it leaves you to think about a lot of issues.

Shalani Pandey's Kinjal seems like an ordinary woman who is in a difficult situation. Pandey debuted with Sandeep Reddy Vanga's infamous action-romance Arjun Reddy alongside Vijay Deverkonda as Preethi Shetty. And is known to have done her dubbing regardless of not being fluent in Telugu.

Many have been wondering about the debutante actor and who is she since it was announced that she will be acting opposite Ranveer Singh. The trailer for sure has piqued audiences' interest.
