Shalini Passi wore a beautiful red saree with golden detailing for her visit to Tirupati Balaji
Art patron, fashion collector, and reality TV personality Shalini Passi turned 49 recently, and she celebrated the milestone not with a lavish party, but with a spiritual retreat to the
Tirupati Balaji
Temple in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh.
Known for her eclectic yet elegant style, Shalini marked the occasion with a traditional red saree look that perfectly captured the sanctity of the visit, while staying true to her personal aesthetic.
Sharing a serene photodump on Instagram, Shalini posted images of herself in a striking red saree adorned with golden crane and dove motifs, framed by the backdrop of the Tirumala Hills. 'Taking blessings from Tirupati Balaji on my birthday, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Tirumala Hills ✨,' she wrote in the caption.
The saree's golden border paired beautifully with a coordinated blouse, making the look festive yet reverent.
Red and gold are symbolic shades in Hindu culture, often worn during ceremonies to invoke blessings, and Shalini's choice felt intentional and deeply rooted in tradition.
This wasn't her first spiritual visit to the temple. Shalini, who last shaved her head at Tirupati in 2018 as part of the temple's sacred rituals, shared that her haircare is minimal due to her spiritual connection to it.

That same sense of understated reverence translated into her overall look.
In terms of styling, she opted for classic temple-wear accessories. A rich pink potli bag with golden embroidery added a pop of contrast, while a heavy gold choker and matching jhumkas tied the look together. Her voluminous half-up, half-down ponytail gave a soft, feminine touch to an otherwise structured silhouette.

Shalini Passi, who shot to mainstream fame after appearing in Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, continues to balance glamour and grace, both in the art world and on the spiritual path. Her Tirupati ensemble is a beautiful reminder that fashion can still be deeply rooted in tradition, and that a sari, when worn with intention, never goes out of style.

Actress Sonali Bendre and her filmmaker husband Goldie Behl 's son, Ranveer Behl, turned 20 years old on Monday. Wishing her son well, the 'Hum Saath-Saath Hain' actress dropped some rare and adorable photos of Ranveer on her official Instagram handle. "No matter how tall you get, you'll always be my little one ...Happy birthday, Rann!" Sonali penned on the photo-sharing app. Veteran actor Anupam Kher also wished him in the comment section with the following words, "Happy Birthday! Wishing you a long and healthy life." Raveena Tandon penned, "Happy happy birthday!" Farah Khan shared, "Awwww happy birthday big boy". Several other celebs, such as Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Manisha Koirala, Namrata Shirodkar, and Sussanne Khan, liked Sonali's post. Sonali and Goldie even hosted a birthday bash for their son at their Mumbai residence last night, which was attended by their close friends. For the unversed, Sonali first met Goldie, son of director Ramesh Behl, on the sets of her 1994 film 'Naaraaz'. The couple tied the knot on November 12, 2002, in Mumbai. In 2005, the couple was blessed with a son. Meanwhile, Sonali recently shared her views on the dramatic shift in relationships and society after the emergence of the internet. She pointed out how generational changes are taking place at a much faster pace in recent times, redefining the way people connect and interact. Speaking with IANS, Sonali shared, "The change is huge! In our time, a generation would change every 20-25 years. Now it feels like it changes every three years. Everything has turned upside down. The internet has transformed how people live and connect." Talking about the younger generation's fast-paced approach to love, marriage, and divorce, she added that giving advice to today's youth is often pointless, as they feel they already know everything. "I don't think anyone can really advise youngsters, and those who try usually fail (smiles). They believe they know everything. They have Google and ChatGPT – every answer is at their fingertips," Sonali concluded.

Taylor Swift fans spot big new hints she's the mystery New Heights guest
The New Heights podcast just threw Swifties into a frenzy and Taylor Swift's own camp might be egging them on. It all began with a cryptic 'VERY special guest' teaser from brothers Travis and Jason Kelce. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Harmless? Maybe. But then Taylor Nation reposted it, and Republic Records hit like on Instagram. Yeah, they knew what they were doing. New Heights podcast teaser hints at possible Taylor Swift appearance The Kelce brothers dropped their weekly promo like any other Tuesday, except this one came with a suspicious amount of dramatic emphasis: a 'VERY special guest' is coming. Travis smirked. Jason played innocent. Fans immediately went full FBI mode, zooming in on facial expressions like they were court evidence. Taylor Nation's new era + Republic Records like = suspicious timing If this was just a random guest, why did Taylor Nation — the official fan engagement account for Swift, put up a cryptic post about a new era? And why did Republic Records tap the like button? Swifties know her team doesn't do casual. Everything is an Easter egg. Even if Taylor isn't the guest, they've successfully sent the fandom spiraling into overdrive. Jason Kelce's playful 'maybe someday' keeps the hope alive During past interviews, Jason Kelce has teased, 'We'd love to have Taylor on… for sure' , but always softens it with a 'maybe someday' disclaimer. It's the kind of coy comment that only fuels speculation especially when paired with the current timing and her relationship with Travis. On social media, it's peak fandom energy. You'll see tweets like 'I'm manifesting Taylor in the studio' next to 'Plot twist: she's next week's guest.' Some fans are even making countdown TikToks. Drama, excitement, and a dash of 'please make it happen.' Swifties aren't exactly subtle right now. TikToks are counting down to the episode. X (Twitter) threads are titled 'THE GUEST IS HER.' And fan accounts are openly begging for confirmation. One viral post summed it up: 'If it's not Taylor, you owe me emotional damages.' No official confirmation yet. But when Taylor Nation and her label start quietly engaging with the content, it's never random. Whether it's this week or six months from now, the New Heights x Taylor Swift crossover feels less like 'if' and more like 'when.' Until then, the refresh button is everyone's best friend.
