Shalom is best known as an Australian actress, but she was actually born north of London, in St Albans, to a Mauritian mother and Thai-born English father. When she was 14 years old, her family relocated to Mullaloo, a coastal town in Western Australia. Funnily enough, two of her fellow Cursed costars (Katherine Langford and Devon Terrell) both grew up in Western Australia, too, although the show was filmed near London.
