Shalini Passi, the Delhi-based art collector and philanthropist, recently captured attention with her appearance on Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives Season 3. In a candid interview with Curly Tales, she offered a glimpse into her lavish lifestyle, including her grand mansion, personal fashion choices, and culinary passions.

Passi, who resides in a stunning mansion in Delhi with her husband Sanjay and their son Robin, shared that her home is a five-year project, completed in 2010. When asked about the size of the house, she confessed that she’s never counted the rooms, noting, “I’ve never counted.” For her, the space is more about the people it accommodates, describing them as “loads of people, they’re like my family.”

Known for her unique sense of style, Shalini Passi also opened up about her approach to fashion. She revealed that she rarely wears the same clothes twice. When she does, she transforms them into fresh pieces by cutting, reworking, and dip-dying fabrics. Passi has a dedicated tailor at home, known as “master ji,” who assists her in these creative transformations.

In addition to her love for fashion, Shalini shared her passion for cooking. She explained that she carefully plans her meals around nutritional needs, selecting vegetables for their specific benefits. Passi proudly stated, “I’ve cooked a lot of food in my day, I’ve fed all of Delhi,” and recalled making as many as 10 cakes for events, such as her birthdays. Her culinary prowess has made her a beloved figure in her community.

Passi also revealed an amusing and unexpected detail about her home: a group of 30 monkeys frequently visits her property. She noted that the monkeys enjoy spending time at her house, adding a touch of whimsy to her already fascinating lifestyle.

Married to Sanjay Passi, the Chairman of Pasco Group and head of his family’s Tata Motors dealership in Chandigarh, Shalini Passi has been married since 1989. The couple has one son, Robin Passi.

The third season of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, which features Shalini alongside other prominent figures such as Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey, and Seema Kiran Sajdeh, premiered on Netflix on October 18, 2024. The series, produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment, gives audiences an inside look at the glamorous lives of Bollywood’s elite.
