In an interview with Hindustan Times, Shefali talked about the influx of work coming her way of late. “The thing is, my family used to always feel, ‘Forget overexposed, you are not even seen’. Whatever I did used to come once in a year or two. That is the kind of work I want to do, something that really excites me, makes me want to go to work. Till now, I have not really contemplated my career, I go very instinctively. If it excites me enough, consumes me I will go and do it,” she said.
