Smart and sassy Passi

Pop culture works according to its own unpredictable, crazy logic. An unlikely, overnight celebrity has become the talk of India. Everyone, especially on social media, is discussing, dissing, hissing and mimicking just one person—Shalini Passi.

Passi has smoothly replaced Orry as the most dissected media concoction, after stealing the show from rivals in a much-watched OTT series—Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, which showcases the impossibly opulent worlds of a bunch of women, whose sole purpose in life is to flaunt and taunt. In such a brittle world, one superlatively delicious, ever-smiling woman bathed in all things luxe, from top to toe (think Cleopatra meets Padmavati), enchants and disarms viewers with her beatific presence, as she unselfconsciously sings off-key songs and effortlessly makes others look insecure and trashy. She is even dressed in floaty designer gowns, which generously reveal an impressive cleavage.
