<\/p>\nShalini Passi avoids carbs, sugar, wine, and smoking for a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Shalini Passi, the Delhi-based art collector, philanthropist, and style maven, first caught public attention through her appearance on Netflix\u2019s Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. Known for her opulent lifestyle, offbeat beauty rituals, and distinctive fitness approach, Passi continues to intrigue fans with her candid insights into health and wellness.<\/p>\n
Recently, in a chat with Pinkvilla, the 49-year-old opened up about her food habits and why she has stepped away from the kitchen despite being a skilled cook. \u201cI don\u2019t make time to cook anymore. The only thing I cook or bake now is my makeup,” she quipped. \u201cWhen I was around 20 or 21, someone once told me, \u2018Your mother didn\u2019t teach you to cook,\u2019 and I took it personally. So, I learned everything, Chinese, Thai, Indian, even Hyderabadi Biryani.”<\/p>\n
Today, however, Passi prefers to let others handle the cooking. \u201cEveryone\u2019s on a diet now. My son needs balanced portions, and I eat what I need to,” she explained.<\/p>\n
While she doesn\u2019t cook, she certainly knows what she loves. A self-confessed kadhi-chawal and garlic enthusiast, Passi also swears by her favorite dish, cauliflower salad. She describes it as, \u201cNot your typical healthy salad, it has nuts, black salt, capsicum, greens, avocado, olive oil, and green apple. It\u2019s wholesome and delicious.”<\/p>\n
Despite calling herself a foodie, Passi avoids cheat meals, desserts, and even beverages. \u201cI work out a lot. I don\u2019t feel the need for sweets, tea, coffee, or alcohol. I have a natural high, so I don\u2019t need carbs or sugar to feel good. But if I really crave something, I\u2019ll eat it,” she admitted.<\/p>\n
Her wellness philosophy extends beyond diet and fitness too. Once a yoga enthusiast, Passi now focuses on mindfulness instead. \u201cI stopped practicing yoga and switched to meditation and breathing exercises,” she revealed.<\/p>\n
With her disciplined yet refreshing outlook, Shalini Passi proves that wellness isn\u2019t about extremes, it\u2019s about balance, intention, and joy in every choice.<\/p>\n
