Shalini Pandey has always been one to embrace bold, unfiltered expression—on-screen and off. Now, she channels that fearless spirit as the newest face of Tyaani Jewellery by Karan Johar, fronting the brand’s signature campaign, “Forces of Tyaani.”
Making a powerful debut, Shalini stuns in a sculpted monokini, layered with Tyaani’s natural uncut diamonds, ruby accents, and richly hued gemstone beads. The look, though deeply rooted in heritage craftsmanship, is styled like contemporary armour—fierce, feminine, and undeniably modern. Her minimalist silhouette only amplifies the drama of the jewels, while her steady gaze and confident stance exude quiet power. The moment is magnetic, cinematic, and a perfect embodiment of the campaign’s essence: strength in elegance.
The second look strikes a more introspective note. Clad in an earthy brown suit with barely-there makeup, Shalini Pandey exudes rustic grace and understated elegance. There’s a grounded serenity in her presence—an effortless authenticity that resonates deeply.
Paired with the caption, “Unfiltered. Just as I am,” the visual extends the campaign’s core message: a celebration of raw, unadorned beauty and a tradition that transcends limitations. It’s Tyaani’s tribute to individuality—where heritage meets honesty, and jewellery becomes a medium for personal truth.
Renowned for her impactful roles in both South Indian cinema and Bollywood—most notably in Arjun Reddy and Dabba Cartel—Shalini Pandey’s journey from outsider to breakout star perfectly echoes the spirit of Forces of Tyaani. Each piece of jewellery in the campaign becomes a symbolic extension of that journey—one defined by resilience, elegance, and unwavering self-belief.
Speaking about the campaign, Karan Johar, the visionary behind Tyaani, shared, “Shalini brings an irresistible blend of grit and grace. With ‘Forces of Tyaani’, our aim was to showcase the modern Indian woman in her full spectrum—fierce yet grounded, glamorous yet authentic. Shalini captures this essence effortlessly.”
Melding Johar’s cinematic storytelling with Tyaani’s artisanal legacy, the campaign reimagines traditional craftsmanship through a contemporary lens. The result is a striking tribute to strength, individuality, and the evolving identity of Indian womanhood—where every jewel is more than adornment; it’s a statement.
