Socialite Shalini Passi became an overnight star after the release of the Netflix show Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. She joined the cast, which also included Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, Seema Sajdeh, and Bhavana Pandey, in the show’s third season. Shalini stole the spotlight with her unique personality and YOLO attitude. Her one-liners, outfits, bags, lifestyle, diet, and other quirks amused audiences, and invited more scrutiny into her life.

Shalini Passi, 49, has a 28-year-old son. She gave birth to Robin when she was 21. In a recent conversation with Hautterfly, Shalini said that she is extremely proud of Robin, and shared stories about his personality. She said, “I am very proud of him. During the pandemic, certain things happened. There was a situation in some family, where the girl had run away. My son went and got her back.” She added, “So many times, it has happened that a couple has fought, and there has been a situation, and my son has taken care of it all, dropping the girl home safe. This makes me proud.”

She continued, “When he returned after completing his education (before the pandemic), his flight was the last flight to land in Delhi. He could have got out of the airport, but he didn’t because he was accompanied by several of his college mates that included both girls and guys. He stayed back with them. He didn’t leave them alone.”

In the same interview, Shalini was asked whether her son shares his relationship status with her. She jokingly said, “My son doesn’t share his relationship details with me as he fears I will end up talking to them and sending them weird emojis.”

Shalini also shared that Robin can take care of himself, despite coming from a privileged family. She said, “Whenever we travel, or at home, he does take part in the household chores. He knows to cook. He washes his own clothes.” When the interviewer praised him for this, Shalini quickly stopped him and said, “There is nothing special about this. Everyone should do basic things. People should be capable of doing their own things, it gives you confidence.”

Shalini Passi, married to Delhi-based businessman Sanjay Passi, is a philanthropist and an art collector.
