Interestingly, the couple met when they were shooting for 1999's romance-action Amarkalam.

To keep the news of their relationship under the wraps, the duo avoided meeting each other in public. Kunchacko Boban said Ajith did not visit the sets or talk directly to Shalini at the shooting to avoid getting noticed by Shalini's parents. Boban said that Ajith and Shalini used to talk through his Ericson mobile during the breaks.
Reportedly, during the shooting of Amarkalam, the two were sitting with the film director Saran. And, Ajith requested Saran to finish the film with one schedule as he was getting attracted to Shalini and felt like loving her. Shalini, who was sitting beside him, was stunned hearing this but smiled.
