Fabulous Live Of Bollywood Wives is back with a new season and with three new entrants, the show is filled with more drama and fun. Titled Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives, the show pits Mumbai's Bollywood wives against the elites of Delhi. This season features Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Shalini Passi, and Kalyani Saha Chawla, who join Neelam Kothari, Bhavana Pandey, Maheep Kapoor, and Seema Sajdeh in the competition. Since the show began streaming on Netflix, Shalini Passi has been one eye-rolling figure who is constantly attracting attention for her custom couture and lavish lifestyle in Delhi.

Who is Shalini Passi?

Shalini Passi is a Delhi-based art and design collector. She supports various fields, including art, design, and fashion, and serves as an advisor in these areas. Since 2012, she has been part of the Khoj Advisory Board and actively supports the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. In the show Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives, Shalini shared her talents as a singer, dancer, writer, fashion supporter, swimmer, and philanthropist.

Since 2010, she has organised arts and crafts workshops for underprivileged children in Delhi. In February 2021, Shalini and her husband, industrialist Sanjay Passi, donated ₹10 crore to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams. According to The Nod Magazine, Shalini married Sanjay when she was only 20. Additionally, she founded MASH, an organisation that connects art, architecture, craft, design, and fashion.

Inside Shalini Passi’s luxurious house?

As per Architectural Digest reports, Shalini Passi lives in a sweeping curve of a home in New Delhi's posh Golf Links neighbourhood with her husband Sanjay, and son Robin. Her house reflects her vibrant personality. 

Shaped like a boomerang, it offers a view of the expansive 220 acres of the Delhi Golf Club, where the sound of a Callaway can sometimes be heard from the 8th tee. However, Shalini's home stands out for its remarkable art collection, which fills the space from floor to ceiling.

The collection includes paintings, video art, sculptures, installations, Fornasetti bureaus, Gio Ponti collectables, gilt wood mirrors, and étagère bookshelves, among other treasures. This impressive assortment showcases the keen eye and insatiable curiosity of a passionate collector. In the formal dining room, a cluster of copper pendant lights designed by Tom Dixon hangs above. 

Below a late-18th-century portrait, a 1970s rock-crystal lamp graces the console. The dining table features a 17th-century French porcelain and gilt bronze candlestick, complemented by exquisite Meissen dinnerware.
