In a recent interview, Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives' Shalini Passi opened up about a pivotal moment in her life from 2013, when she shaved her head after her son left for university. 

Shalini Passi has undeniably become the star attraction of Netflix’s 'Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives'. Shalini, a philanthropist, art collector, and artist, has effortlessly stolen the spotlight this season with her distinctive quirks and unabashed self-confidence. From her haute couture ensembles to her handbag collection, Passi strikes a unique balance of sophistication and unpredictability. Married to businessman Sanjay Passi since the late 1990s, the couple shares a son, Robin. In an interview with The Nod Magazine, Shalini opened up about a pivotal moment in her life from 2013, when she shaved her head after her son left for university. 

Why Shalini Passi shaved her head in 2013

In 2013, after her son left for university, she shaved her head and adopted a minimalist wardrobe, wearing only black and white. In a conversation with the Nod Magazine, Shalini describes this as her turning point, saying it marked her journey into “becoming an aesthete.” Since then, her signature style has returned in full colour, but the experience remains a defining chapter in her life. 

“I wanted someone who wouldn’t drink, smoke, or gamble,” Shalini shared, describing her husband.

Reflecting on her packed schedule, she added, “Half the time, once I’m done with dressing up and clicking my photos for my social media, I don’t even make it to the event or party. That’s how busy I am.” 

Owning her place in the spotlight, Shalini stated, “I’m a great collector. I’m a great mother. I’m a great housewife. I’ve built my family and home. I’m a good friend, and I’m even good to people I don’t know. I have, after all, always been the star of my own life!” 

'Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives' premiered on Netflix on October 18.
