Mahip Kapoor jealous of Shalini Passi’s fame? Karan Johar roasts her; “shut up”

The latest season of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives brought a fresh twist with three glamorous new additions from Delhi: Shalini Passi, Kalyani Chawla and Riddima Sahni, Ranbir Kapoor’s sister. While the OG wives — Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Panday, Seema Sajdeh and Neelam Kothari — displayed their trademark sassiness, Shalini Passi grabbed the attention by enthralling the audience with her lavish lifestyle and charming screen presence.

Introduced as a philanthropist and supporter of the arts, Shalini Passi became an instant fan favorite. Her extravagant 20,000-square-foot Delhi mansion filled with rare artwork, her enviable wardrobe and her unique take on wellness — including eating raw — quickly set social media abuzz. The audience couldn’t get enough of her witty one-liners.

Shalini’s growth even seems to have caught the attention of the show’s creator, Karan Johar, who couldn’t help but poke fun at Maheep Kapoor. In a playful Instagram video shared by Karan, he teases Magip by asking if she feels “threatened” by Shalini’s newfound fame. In the clip, an annoyed Maheep tells Karan to turn off the camera and he brazenly pressures her to respond. Despite her annoyance, the exchange ended with Karan’s trademark Toodles.

Shalini Passi’s grand entrance into the Fabulous Lives universe was marked by her hosting an extravagant MASH ball, where she channeled her inner Cleopatra, complete with a stunning costume and dramatic flair. Her impeccable fashion sense combined with her collection of rare and exotic handbags has even the OG wives in awe. Viewers this season couldn’t help but be drawn to her grand personality and downright glamorous lifestyle, which became a constant topic of conversation both on and off the show.
