Shalini Passi, a Delhi-based art lover, became an overnight sensation after joining the cast of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives on Netflix. Her presence on the show has earned her widespread love and admiration, turning her into a viral star. In a candid interview, Shalini opened up about her newfound fame, her takeaways from the show, and her thoughts on going under the knife.
Shalini Passi On The Fame After the Show
Shalini Passi is still coming to terms with the fame she gained after appearing on Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. She never imagined how much love and attention she would receive. “I expected some fame because the show is very popular, especially being on Netflix. But what I didn’t expect was the outpouring of love,” she shared.
Shalini, who describes herself as overwhelmed and humbled, has been receiving heartfelt messages from people of all ages. “It’s not just from young girls but also grandmothers, women, and men—everyone is reaching out, saying such lovely things. It’s incredibly heartwarming.”
Although Shalini’s family has been supportive, her husband, businessman Sanjay Passi, hasn’t yet watched the show. However, her son, Robin, enjoyed it with his friends, and they were all thrilled with the love Shalini was getting from fans.
As a token of her generosity, Shalini donated the entire proceeds from her television debut to UNICEF India. This contribution supports childcare initiatives in Purnea, Bihar, a cause close to her heart.
Memorable Moments from the Show
The latest season of Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives added a fresh flavor with new faces like Shalini, along with Kalyani Saha and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. The show offered drama, humor, and plenty of excitement, especially as it highlighted the lifestyle of Delhi’s elite.
For Shalini, the experience was mostly positive. She reflected, “Spending time with the other girls was so much fun. There’s always drama, but there’s also humor and bonding. Each of them holds a special place in my life, and I’m in touch with most of them. We meet up occasionally.”
When asked about the possibility of appearing in a future season, Shalini left the door open, saying, “If the viewers and the makers want me back, I’d be happy to join again.”
Embracing the Viral Fame
Shalini’s quirky personality, including her claim of having “20,000 staff members” and her love for painting, singing, and dancing, made her a breakout star on the show. However, she still feels a little overwhelmed by the viral sensation she has become. “I didn’t expect this kind of response. I’m just enjoying the love and trying to be a better person because of it,” she said.
While she respects fellow cast member Orry (Orhan Awatramani), she doesn’t see herself competing for attention. Shalini explains, “I believe in small, conscious efforts to improve. It’s about self-love, finding happiness, and growing every day. If Orry is a liver, I’m a learner. That’s how I approach life—learning from every experience.”
What’s Next for Shalini?
Shalini’s fans are eagerly awaiting her next move. She revealed that several opportunities have come her way, including offers for talk shows and even acting roles. While she’s not a professional actress, she is open to taking up roles that suit her. “There’s a lot of interest, and I’m excited to see where it leads,” she shared.
For now, Shalini is focused on exploring new projects and continuing her journey as a creative person, ready to take on whatever comes her way.
