Shalini Passi is nothing short of an enigma. The flamboyant star of the Netflix show, Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives is known for her extravagant lifestyle and maximalist fashion choices with a carefree attitude. Remember that time she danced in the rain or took a dip in the sea wearing a fancy gown? Yeah, that's just Shalini being Shalini. But there's more to her than meets the eye. Beneath her glamorous exterior, the art connoisseur and philanthropist has a disciplined soul that does not tolerate negligence. Recently, she showed us another side of her personality when she recalled ditching her friends and going on a solo trip because they weren't up for her intense fitness routine.
Shalini Passi recently appeared for an interview with Bollywood Hungama, sharing some interesting anecdotes from her life. When asked whether she had ever taken solo trips, the philanthropist and socialite revealed that she had gone on many trips on her own.
Shalini recalled a time when she had planned an art and travel program in Leh-Ladakh and wanted her friends to join her. Shalini said:
I was planning a trip to Leh Ladakh… I wanted to do an art and travel program. I was travelling across India to shoot pilots for different networks. So, I told my friends, ‘I'm going to Leh Ladakh, do you guys want to come? They said, ‘Yeah, yeah, we are coming’ and all. So, I gave them a fitness regime and a diet two months in advance.”
But for Shalini, this wasn’t just any vacation — it required a serious commitment to fitness. Knowing the high altitude and physical demands of a trip to Leh-Ladakh, she set a fitness regime and diet plan for her friends, a solid two months in advance. She recalled:
“I said, ‘Listen, I'm going there, but you have to have a certain fitness level because it does require walking’ and, you know, whatever.”
As the date neared, Shalini checked in with her friends to see if they were sticking to the plan. When it became clear that her friends hadn’t followed through, she decided to go on the trip alone. She told the interviewer:
“I would check with them, ‘Have you been doing it?’ ‘No, no, no, no.’ So, they didn't follow the fitness regime. So, I didn’t take them. And then I reached Leh Ladakh and they were like, ‘We were supposed to be on this trip!’ I said but you didn't follow the fitness regime.”
