Shalini Passi Instagram – @shalini.passi is many things now, but mostly she is someone who is an almost agent provocateur who is forever placed in that liminal space between imaginary and reality. She can afford to be there with her wealth and her curated style. She is 48, and full of one-liners that can smash entire lifetimes built around templates and glamour manifested by the Bollywood wives. They are fierce, but Passi, the Delhi socialite, is savage. Irrespective of whether it is scripted, the show has the usual tropes. Women against women, rich women, the tale of two cities, etc. There is no real plot here. Just a lot of backstabbing, party-going and gossiping in this ultra-glamorous world to keep the viewer thoroughly entertained.
We live in an age of voyeurism, which is why reality television is so popular. Passi knows all of this and more. The many facades of her ensure she is forever relevant. Sometimes she talks about her two white hair strands and the benefits of Ayurveda. But beyond this rich and famous persona, there is another side to her. She is unapologetic about who she is. In a world that runs on projections and pretensions, Passi holds her own ground and she doesn’t care what the world thinks. Or maybe she does in a way that makes her the perfect antidote to the “intellectual” overdose that many are suffering from.
