‘Fabulous Lives VS Bollywood Wives’ gave the internet a celebrity to obsess about – Shalini Passi. The Delhi-based socialite, art collector, philanthropist, and wife of businessman Sanjay Passi left a lasting impression on the audience. Since the show came out, everyone has been super intrigued to know more about her, her lifestyle, and her highly luxurious house.
Located in Golf Links, Shalini Passi’s house according to Architectural Digest is a 20,000 sqft lavish property with 14 rooms. It boasts a perfect amalgamation of contemporary design and traditional aesthetics. Her love for art and her impeccable taste in highly refined artifacts is reflected in her house. She has been collecting art from national and international artists for over two decades now, and every masterpiece that she owns has its own space in the house, its own significance and tale.
Moreover, the house, which is in the shape of a boomerang, has intricate details complimented with vibrant colours, offering a very welcoming vibe to everyone who steps in. The property also has a lush green garden that adds to the beauty of the house and offers more space for impressive art installations.
Shalini’s Instagram is packed with pictures from inside her house. Many of the sculptures and paintings that she flaunts on her Insta album catch attention instantly, like the 25-foot towering Buddha head by renowned artist Subodh Gupta.
This beautiful work of art is one of her top 3 most treasured possessions of Shalini, she said in her chat with Larry’s List. The other two are – The ‘Four Bindi panels’ by Bharti Kher and A Germination by SH Raza.
In addition to the sculptures and paintings, there are thick Persian carpets in one of her rooms, which brings together contemporary styling and traditional aesthetics. On the other hand, she has a room styled like an English cottage, which she describes as an “eclectic but very personal collection.”
Talking of collection, then from an Ado Chale table to a pair of Dutch flower paintings, an 18th century: Flemish cabinet, Andre-Charles Boulle table, the list is long and almost never-ending.
Moving ahead, even the corridors of Shalini Passi’s house have a celebrity status. They have served as the backdrop for many photographs as they embrace some of the classiest artworks. The best part is that in addition to the works of other artists, these corridors have Shalini’s signature via the brass mirror frames that line them.
Shalini gave her signature touch to the garden area as well with the bamboo groove. The ‘Fabulous Lives VS Bollywood Wives’ star believes that bamboo stands for ‘strength, flexibility, and health’.
Thus, it is only fitting to say that Sanjay Passi and Shalini Passi’s luxurious 20,000 sqft house is heaven for art lovers.
