So refreshing to see someone approach fame with such humility! Most reality stars act like they own the world from day one. Shalini's kindergarten analogy is so relatable - we've all been newbies at something. Wishing her the best for Cannes! 🇮🇳✨

Honestly I find these shows quite shallow - just rich people showing off their lifestyles. But I appreciate that she's at least being genuine about being new to this world. Hope she uses this platform for something meaningful beyond just glamour.

While I wish her well, I wonder how much of this is genuine versus carefully crafted PR. The entertainment industry is full of people pretending to be humble. Let's see if she maintains this attitude after a couple more seasons.

Her comments about showcasing Indian craftsmanship at Cannes really stood out to me. We need more celebrities who proudly represent our culture abroad instead of just copying Western styles. More power to her! 💪
