Shalini Passi Draws Attention with Her Response to Maheep Kapoor’s Accent Troll
Shalini Passi and Maheep Kapoor are both featured on the popular Netflix series, Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives.
Recently, a social media comment targeting Maheep Kapoor’s accent sparked a notable reaction from her co-star Shalini Passi. Maheep, a long-standing cast member of the show, has been with the series since its launch, while Shalini, hailing from Delhi, joined in the third season and quickly gained popularity among viewers. Each season has brought its share of online criticism directed at the cast, and this season is no exception.
The comment in question was posted by a user on Reddit, which referred to a video featuring both Shalini and Maheep shared by Shalini on Instagram. The user criticized Maheep, stating, “Maheep is a sasti copy of pretentious didi who just landed in Canada with a newfound accent.” Another individual echoed this sentiment, agreeing with the original comment.
In response, Shalini engaged with the comment by replying using a heart emoji. The intention behind her reaction was open to interpretation, as viewers speculated whether she was attempting to rewrite the narrative around the negative remark. One Reddit user suggested, “This is just Shalini converting negative energy into positive energy. Iykyk,” while another post defended her by stating, “Shalini has been very active liking everything and replying to fan comments, so it could be an accident.”
Commentators also speculated about Shalini’s social media management. One user remarked, “Shalini probably doesn’t handle her social media. When you hire a PR team, they get access to your social media. She probably uses her private profile more. This could just be another PR gimmick to create controversy, a tactic that predates the Internet.”
Beyond her television appearances, Shalini is recognized for her passion for art. She has participated as a patron in art festivals worldwide. In her personal life, she is married to Sanjay Passi, a businessman who chairs the Pasco Group, a prominent distributor of Tata Motors in northern India. The couple, married since the early 2000s, has a son named Robin.
