The latest season of Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives kept viewers entertained for many reasons, but arguably the biggest one was Shalini Passi. The reality TV newcomer, who is a Delhi socialite, an artist, and an art connoisseur, stole the show and fans’ hearts by always being her true and authentic self. However, that’s not to say she didn’t have her doubters. The rest of the cast, in particular, questioned whether Shalini’s behaviour was motivated by a desire for attention or because she had decided to portray a certain character for TV. Recently, Shalini set matters straight revealing her persona on-screen and in real life were the exact same.
In a recent interview with Zoom, Shalini Passi was asked how she dealt with other cast members alleging that she was seeking attention or putting on an act. Well, the reality TV newcomer has shut down any questions about her on-screen and off-screen persona being different in her signature candid style. She said:
“It’s very simple, you know. If I wanted to wear a Cleopatra outfit, I did. And you can’t wear something like that unless you own it, unless you feel it. So I’m someone who’s like if I feel something, I’ll do it and I’ll own it. Otherwise, it’s not authentic. If I cannot justify it to myself, how will I justify it to the world.”
Since the interview had started off with the mention of the rest of the cast questioning her authenticity, Shalini Passi answered the same. She firmly stated that what others said or thought about her didn’t bother her.
Instead, Shalini revealed that she was more focused on possessing the quality of constantly evolving. Stating that she never wanted to be the kind of person that could be pinned down, she said:
“I’m not really conscious of what they are saying. It’s their perception of me, it’s not who I am. I’m so much more than even what people are saying. I’m always changing and evolving. I want to have this quality where no one can catch me. You know, you pin me down, and then the next moment, I’ve changed. That’s what I want to be.”
Art patron and philanthropist, Shalini Passi talked about the term ‘socialite’ in a recent interview and said she was proud of holding the title. She also stated in no unclear terms that she was the last of the socialities, thus, doing away with the ever-growing breed of influencers and paid partnerships. In Shalini’s words:

“Yes, I am proud to be a socialite. The word used to have positive connotations in the 1920s, as somebody who used their power and influence to promote causes that mattered. They were great organisers of events. And I believe I am the last of them.”
