Shalini Passi might have been a new face on this season of Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives, but she has become an internet sensation in no time. While the other new additions from Delhi, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and Kalyani Saha Chawla also entertained viewers this season, but it was Shalini who took the cake. In an interview with Pinkvilla, the art collector shared an amusing revelation - she brings her own vegetables from Delhi whenever she travels to Mumbai. Reason? She finds the quality of Delhi vegetables "so much better" than those in Mumbai.
"I carry my own vegetables from Delhi when I come here like beet and all. It's terrible," she said in the interview. She also threw light on what makes Delhi veggies superior. "The quality of vegetables is so much better in Delhi. Of course it's better as we are next to Punjab. Our beetroots look like beetroots," she hilariously remarked.
Shalini Passi is an art collector by profession and runs My Art Shalini Pahal and the Shalini Passi Art Foundation to support and give a platform to talented artists in India. But she is also a lot of other things - a dancer, singer, gymnast, and social worker.
She married businessman Sanjay Passi in the late 1990s. He is the owner of the Pasco Group, which works with Tata and Maruti dealerships. After pursuing a B.Com degree from Hansraj College, Delhi University, he took over his family's Tata Motors dealership in Chandigarh. Today, his business is valued at Rs 2,690 crore.
