$SHELL holds the value you are looking for.
Yet another way would be to lookup the info in /etc/passwd.
another way,
a simple ps command would get u the listing.
shell that you use currently also would be included.
Ex: let's say your default shell is /bin/ksh
and in .profile at the end; loaded another shell /bin/bash
ps command would give the listing of all shells spawned and the current shell you are in.
