Dressed In Red And Gold Elegance, Shalini Passi Visits Tirupati On Her Birthday
On her 49th birthday, Shalini Passi visited the Tirupati Balaji Temple in Tirumala. She wore a red and gold saree for the occasion. Shalini Passi welcomed her 49th year with a blend of style and spirituality, choosing to celebrate her birthday in the sacred hills of Tirumala. The Delhi-based art patron offered a glimpse into her day through a serene photodump from her visit to the Tirupati Balaji Temple. The images captured moments of quiet devotion, glowing aartis, and temple grounds soaked in divine energy. Sharing the pictures, Shalini Passi wrote, 'Taking blessings from Tirupati Balaji on my birthday, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Tirumala Hills." Take a look at the pictures here. For the special occasion, Shalini turned to traditional glamour with a deeply symbolic palette of red and gold. She opted for a saree from Ekaya. Rich in crimson hues, the saree was woven with a gleaming golden border and delicate crane and dove motifs. The matching blouse elevated the coordinated ensemble with quiet luxury. To complete the look, she carried a pink potli bag embellished with golden details and accessorised with a statement gold choker and heavy jhumkas. Her hair, styled in her signature ponytail, balanced structure with softness. Tirupati Balaji Temple isn't just a destination, it's a recurring spiritual anchor in Shalini's life. Located in Andhra Pradesh's Tirumala hills, the temple is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This wasn't her first visit. She last took part in the temple's sacred ritual of offering hair in 2018. She's since avoided intensive styling or chemical treatments, respecting the spiritual significance tied to her hair journey. While many now recognise her from Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, Shalini Passi is a well-established name in India's art and design circles. Based in Delhi, she has long championed contemporary Indian art and is often seen at the intersection of fashion and philanthropy. Married to businessman Sanjay Passi since the late 1990s, she continues to bridge the worlds of heritage, glamour, and creativity. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Farah Khan Flags Fake Account Pretending To Be Her Cook Dilip: 'Better Take It Down'
Farah Khan warned about a fake Instagram account impersonating her cook, Dilip, who is popular from her vlogs. The account had over 50,000 followers. Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan recently took to social media to raise an alarm over a fake Instagram account impersonating her long-time cook, Dilip. Farah clarified that the account in question is not managed by her staff member and issued a stern warning to the impersonator. Farah Khan's celebrity cooking vlogs often features her cook Dilip as the unexpected scene-stealer which has made him widely popular online. On Sunday morning, Farah Khan took to her Instagram Stories to call out a fake social media account impersonating her cook, Dilip. She shared a screenshot of the profile, which had amassed over 50,000 followers and falsely claimed to be a blogger—going so far as to mention her name in the bio. Labeling it as a 'FAKE account," Farah wrote, 'We are complaining," and directly addressed the impersonator, warning, 'You better take it down." At the time Farah Khan flagged the impersonator's profile, the account had 244 posts, including several Reels that had garnered over 100,000 views each, most of them repurposed clips from Farah and Dilip's popular vlogs. However, within minutes of Farah's public warning, the account swiftly changed its username and display picture and removed or archived all existing posts. It now appears under the name A1 Blogger and shows zero posts. Interestingly, while this account had gained considerable traction, there are a few other fake profiles on Instagram claiming to be Dilip. However, those have a negligible presence, with most struggling to cross even 100 followers. In a recent vlog featuring Ajay Devgn, filmmaker Farah Khan shared a light-hearted anecdote about how she first met her now-famous cook, Dilip. 'You know how I found him? Oh my God! I have to tell you this story," she told Ajay during their chat. 'He was outside your house. How could I forget this? Yeh aapke bungalow ke bahar ghoom raha tha (He was loitering around your bungalow). This was about 12–13 years ago," she added, laughing. Farah Khan kicked off her cooking vlogs with her trusted cook Dilip in 2024, and the series has since become a social media favourite. Known for her trademark humour and effortless camaraderie with Dilip, Farah brings a refreshing charm to each episode. Together, the duo has visited several celebrity homes including those of Raveena Tandon, Sania Mirza, Malaika Arora, and Himesh Reshammiya where they whip up simple, comforting meals while trading witty banter and indulging in light-hearted, candid chats.
