Shalini Passi, the season's new entry from Delhi has become the unexpected star of reality TV show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives (FLBW). Since its release in mid-October, articles have been devoted to cuts of her blouses. Even Kapil Sharma gushes over her on his show, calling her a 'machhli'. In this post-shame world of reality TV, where everyone is letting it all hang out — from Victoria Beckham's WAG lifestyle to Dubai Bling's idle elite — it's intriguing to find someone who stands out by holding on to something resembling values. Passi's debut sees her descending a marble staircase in couture, dressed as Cleopatra no less, referencing ancient Egyptian iconography by holding daggers — even though she may not know that Cleopatra is typically shown with daggers only in death. The detail is telling: Passi resists the 'lady who lunches' label, though she may well be one. She trains in dance and singing, collects art, and even dabbles in painting — though her portrait of journalist Ruchika Mehta didn't quite resemble its subject. Perhaps she was going for something else.
