New Delhi:
It’s Shalini Passi’s world and we are living in it. In a conversation with NDTV’s Arun Singh, the Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives star, who has become the new favourite of the Internet, shared that she has shaved off her hair many times. On the show, Shalini hosted a gala where she dressed as the Egyptian queen Cleopatra. On whether Delhi women dressed over-the-top in the show, Shalini shared how the way she dresses is intrinsically connected to culture. “Everything comes out of necessity. In North India, all of us are Sikhs. We don’t cut our her hair. So when we don’t cut our hair, how do you make it look different every day? By using hairbands, clips, flowers, jhumka, tiara – whatever you can call them,” Shalini Passi told NDTV.
Shalini said she had shaved off her hair at Tirupati four times. “Even for me, when I shaved my hair at Tirupati, I shaved it four times. So for me also, I don’t want to style my hair much. Because ultimately, I will donate it.” Shalini added that the last time she had shaved off her hair was in 2018. In 2021, Shalini Passi and her spouse Sanjay Passi donated Rs 10 crore to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.
Shalini Passi is a Delhi-based art collector and philanthropist. She has been married to Sanjay Passi since 2000.
