Season three of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, titled Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, premiered on Netflix on October 18, introducing new cast members.
The season features three new Delhi-based socialites: Kapoor Sahni, Shalini Passi, and Kalyani Saha Chawla, with Shalini quickly becoming a fan favorite.
Shalini Passi, born in 1976 in Delhi, is a design collector, art patron, and fashion figure who married businessman Sanjay Passi in the late '90s.
The couple resides in a lavish 20,000-sq-ft home in Delhi's Golf Links, which boasts 14 rooms.
A fitness enthusiast, Shalini was a state-level gymnast in her youth but transitioned to running in her 40s, showcasing her commitment to health and wellness.
Shalini has been actively involved in philanthropy for over two decades, focusing on education for underprivileged children in Delhi and organizing arts and crafts workshops.
In 2018, she established The Shalini Passi Art Foundation and MASH India to promote emerging artists in India.
Shalini is a close friend of Gauri Khan, wife of Shah Rukh Khan, and has maintained a low profile regarding her personal life until her appearance on the show.
Shalini's husband, Sanjay Passi, is the chairman of Pasco Group, known for its Tata Motors-certified dealerships in North India, with a significant turnover of Rs 2690 crore.
