On being asked if Delhi women dress over-the-top, Shalini shared how the dressing is intrinsically connected to the culture. “Everything comes out of necessity. In North India, all of us are Sikhs. We don’t cut her hair. So when we don’t cut our hair, how do you make it look different every day? By hairbands, clips, flowers, jhumka, tiara – whatever you can call them,” revealed Shalini Passi to NDTV.
Shalini also shared that she shaved her hair at Tirupati four times. “Even for me, when I shaved my hair at Tirupati, I shaved it four times. So for me also, I don’t want to style my hair much.

FYI, in 2021, Shalini Passi and spouse Sanjay Passi donated Rs 10 crore to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.
