However she expressed her sadness over the fact the serial actress never get selected for roles in Malayalam films. â€˜It was a good experienceâ€™, says Shelly. The film was directed by Shankar Ramakrishnan. She did the role of a school girl opposite to Maniyanpillai Raju. Amids this she also got the chance to play a role in director Ranjithâ€™s portmanteau film Kerala CafÃ©. Shelly received the State Governmentâ€™s award for best actress in a serial for her role in the serial â€˜Thaniyeâ€™, also aired in Amritha TV. She has a sister Shibily who works as a teacher. Her mother Sheela is a housewife and her elder brother is married and works in America. Her father J Nabu kumar is a civil engineer in Dubai.

However her introduction in public shows dates back to the year 2000, when she was chosen as the second runner up for the Miss Flower Show contest helad at Kanakakunnu, Trivandrum. At that time she was doing her PG in E-Governance. Kishore is the Production Controller of Kunkumapovu. She was selected for her role in the serial upon her husband, Kishore C Menon's request. Shelly doesn't have any resemblance to the ever moody Shalini in Kunkumapoovu. She enjoys when someone says that she looks like that serial girl.It is my luck,says Shelly. She lives with her husband in their home in Trivandrum and enjoys to walk through the busy streets without getting noticed.

A person visiting her home may be taken by surprise because there is little to choose between her and the role Shalini in the serial Kunkumapoovu telecast by Asianet. Shelly is a person of contrasts.She is shy on screen but bold in real life.
