Everyone seems obsessed with Shalini Passi, the art collector and connoisseur, and it’s easy to see why. When Shalini speaks, she doesn’t come across as your typical wealthy socialite. Instead, she brings a refreshing sense of relatability and realism that resonates with everyone. She’s never seemed out of touch with reality, which is something people genuinely appreciate about her. Moreover, what people also like is how she’s always engaging with her audience—commenting on or liking every post that mentions her.
Every day, we come across something new about Shalini Passi and her life—and honestly, we’re growing fonder of her with each passing day. Here’s why she’s more than just a pretty face on screen:
1. She acknowledges her privilege and is doing her bit to help others
On the show, Shalini revealed how coming from privilege, she had difficulty dealing with it and understanding her true purpose. And then she found one – her art foundation that supports emerging young artists. She’s so dedicated to it and to fulfilling her purpose that she’s making sure to keep herself healthy. She said, “In 2018 when I was going through this inner transformation… I started the foundation, and I wanted to do so many things… I was getting a lot of inspiration. But, I was like, I need strength… I need my back not to hurt, I need my eyes to function… I don’t want my eyes to pain after reading all day… after all I am a 49-year-old.”
2. She knows holding grudges does no good
Wondering how Shalini has such amazing skin. Well, she revealed the secret on the show Bollywood Wives. In her own words, she said, “The only reason, I don’t hold grudges against other people is because it affects my skin. Jealousy and competitiveness are very negative energies. That’s not good for my sleep, that’s not good for my health, that’s not good for my skin.” Now I know why I’ve been having so many breakouts lately.
3. She’s fiercely confident and isn’t afraid to make her own fashion rules
While most individuals are running behind fashion trends and what’s in at the moment, Shalini’s style is unique to her. Bold accessories, bolder prints and silhouettes that’ll put your wedding gowns to shame… She knows what she likes and doesn’t give a damn if it’s considered appropriate by the fashion gurus or not. You do you, girl!
4. She’s candid about her personal life and we love her for it!
Shalini Passi isn’t your typical mom—she’s a cool mom. She had her son, Robin, at just 20, and the two have always shared a sibling-like bond since then. Shalini recalled, “I used to go to the toy store and get as excited as my son. I’d take him to Disneyland and go crazy on the rides with him. Then I’d tell him, ‘Robin, let’s do skating classes,’ and I’d go ice skating with him. I even taught him skiing and scuba diving. We were like siblings—it felt like we grew up together. For the longest time, he called me by my name, and it’s only now that he addresses me as ‘mom.’”
5. She’s a beauty with a cause
It’s not just Shalini Passi’s style that draws attention—her beauty and hair have also become the talk of the town. Her luscious locks are enviable, but did you know she has shaved her head four times? Shalini revealed that she doesn’t style her hair much, knowing she’ll eventually shave it for donation. “When I shaved my hair at Tirupati, it was my fourth time. So for me, I don’t style my hair much because, ultimately, I’m going to donate it.” What a queen!
6. And a beauty with plenty of talents
Shalini Passi has a deep love for art and finds beauty in everything around her. But few people know that this elegant art enthusiast was once a state-level gymnast! Today, her passion lies in collecting art, yet her creativity and interests go far beyond that. On her recent show, she revealed her wide range of talents, which include dancing, singing, archery, shooting, scuba diving, and fashion. Is there anything this diva can’t do?
Shalini, if you’re reading this, just know—we admire you! Keep inspiring us, and we can’t wait to see what more you have in store.
