Cannes Film Festival 2025: Shalini Passi's Rs 1,45,600 mouth-shaped earrings with off-shoulder white gown exudes Cleopatra energy
With her ethereal fashion choices and sassy diva philosophies, Shalini Passi remains an undisputed fashionista. Gracing the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in a stunning white gown, Passi proved she is synonymous with glamour. Not only her whimsical fit, but her accessories were spell-binding too. Let's dissect her outfit! Channeling siren woman energy, Shalini Passi decided to turn heads in a high-end garb by the Italian fashion designer, Schiaparelli. The brand is known for its edgy, eccentric, and trippy couture. Keeping it monochromatic yet surreal, Passi's dress held a goddess-like charm. The full-length gown featured an off-shoulder silhouette with a straight neckline. The body-hugging dress wrapped Shalini's form gracefully, exuding unparalleled feminine vibes. The tailoring of this dress was mesmerizing as it was ruched at the midriff all the way down to the knees before splitting and forming a train. It also boasted pleats, emerging from the bosom and cascading to the floor, making it an enigmatic flair. The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives fame's accessories for this look were particularly fascinating. Curated from Schiaparelli, she wore an artisanal neckpiece that featured a half-face sculpture, studded with silver accented piercing jewelry and a silver tear drop. The eccentric charm was secured by chunky chains. She further adorned Schiaparelli's mouth-shaped earrings with rhinestone-studded piercings, adding voguish vibes to her fit. These earrings came with a hefty price tag of around Rs 1,45,600. The fashionista also wore a square-shaped ring and a wristband with an eye charm. The quirky gold jewelry with the white gown and Shalini's bewitching aura exuded queen Cleopatra vibes. The style maven carried a swirly, rhinestone-studded bag from the lavish handbag label, Judith Lieber. The bedazzled accessory added a sparkle to her monochrome attire. Shalini paired her white dress with white platform heels from the brand Valentino. The straight-line dress and the significantly high heels gave her form a statuesque appeal, adding to her magical aura. For her make-up, Passi went for a snatched and glowy glam. She flaunted winged eyeliner with golden eyeshadows, exuding femme fatale vibes. The reality TV star boasted a dewy base with blushed-up cheeks and nude pink lips. And yet, it was her lethal aura that captivated the scene. Going for a clean-girl aesthetic, Shalini put her hair up in a sleek ponytail—her luscious, black tresses adding to the diva's surreal energy.

Shalini Passi's diet is reason behind her glowing skin? Know all about Indian patron's nutrition-rich, strict diet
Shalini Passi, who turned heads on the Netflix show Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, is now all set to make her debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival this year. Known for her extravagant fashion sense and bold personality, Passi is not just a social media sensation but also a serious health enthusiast. At 49, she's managed to stay youthful and radiant—and her secret lies in a unique, liquid-heavy diet that keeps her skin glowing and her energy levels high. In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Passi opened up about what she eats in a day, her beauty mantra, and how she chooses wellness over indulgence. No Solid Meals, Just Power-Packed Liquids Shalini's daily routine revolves around a mostly liquid diet. From fresh juices to a variety of soups, her meals are designed not for pleasure but for purpose. She believes that eating for enjoyment often leads to poor choices, so she sticks to what nourishes her body and mind. "I eat to sustain myself, not for enjoyment," she shared. "I'm always working, so I don't have time for elaborate meals. Liquids are easy to digest, help with metabolism, and keep me light and energetic." Morning Routine: Juices, Curd, and More Her day begins at 9 a.m., which she considers her "dinner time" since she follows a unique eating pattern. The first thing she has is a shot of pure cow ghee. This is followed by her signature red juice of beetroot, celery, amla, and ginger. Next comes goat curd, which she consumes in a large glass. This is followed by sprout juice made from raw, sprouted green moong dal. She then drinks a spinach juice mixed with other green vegetables and nuts. Lately, she has also started including a boiled egg in her breakfast. All of these items are nutrient-rich and designed to kickstart her metabolism and support her skin and gut health. Midday Meals: Soups and Fruits Around 12:30 to 1 p.m., she eats what she calls lunch, which consists mainly of different soups. This is followed by five types of fruits, each a different color. According to Shalini, this follows Ayurvedic advice, which recommends eating colorful fruits for balanced nutrition. She also drinks a glass of pomegranate juice and coconut water around this time. By 3 or 3:30 p.m., just before her workout at 4 p.m., she consumes fruits to fuel her exercise routine. Evening Delights: Soups Galore and a Little Meat In the evening, the soup marathon continues. Shalini rotates between various types of vegetable-based soups, including: Green soup: Spinach and broccoli Red soup: Tomato and capsicum Bhindi soup: Not her favorite, but she drinks it anyway Pea and zucchini soup: Heavy but nutritious Daal soup and kala chana soup: Rich in protein Depending on how hungry she feels, she sometimes includes jawar, bajra, or ragi-based soup. Occasionally, she also eats a chila. On days when she doesn't visit the temple, she includes a non-vegetarian dish—usually chicken or fish—in her evening meal. Her dinner usually happens by 6:30 or 7 p.m., never too late. Spicy at Heart Though she follows a strict wellness-based diet, Shalini admits she loves spicy food. Her favorites include Indian, Chinese, and Thai dishes. "I love kadhi chawal and mutton curry," she revealed, adding that these dishes are close to her heart but are rarely part of her routine meals. Interestingly, she doesn't believe in cheat meals. "My diet is for wellness, not for weight loss or being slim," she emphasized. What stands out about Shalini Passi' s diet is not just the unusual ingredients or the liquid form—it's her deep commitment to holistic wellness. She's not trying to follow a trend or shed pounds quickly. Instead, she eats with purpose, mindfulness, and discipline.

Tests confirm water supplied to Gurgaon condo contaminated despite GMDA clean chit
Gurgaon: The resident welfare association (RWA) of NBCC Heights in Sector 89 has sought intervention from the GMDA CEO after two consecutive tests — conducted within 10 days — confirmed that water supplied by the Authority remains unfit for drinking. After the primary health centre took the water samples, residents want GMDA to check and ensure clean and safe water. RWA president of NBCC Heights Col Ravinder Passi (retd) said on Friday, "We request GMDA to immediately depute a team to test the quality of water being supplied and examine the supply lines en route for any possible contamination." The residents have also urged GMDA to inspect its supply infrastructure and ensure safe and clean drinking water.A GMDA official said there is no issue at its end. A senior GMDA official said, "We visited the society on April 29 and collected samples in the presence of the estate manager. The sample taken at the inlet point from our supply was found to be fine. Additionally, we observed that the society was mixing borewell water with the domestic water supply. We have already informed residents not to mix any other source of water with GMDA supply." However, the RWA has denied the samples taken on April 26 showed microbial contamination, triggering health concerns among more than 400 residents, many of whom have complained about cases of vomiting, diarrhoea and typhoid. Subsequently, the RWA undertook immediate internal measures, including thorough cleaning of all underground and overhead tanks. Passi said, "The fact of the matter is that we have been regularly maintaining our tanks as per schedule and taking all possible precautions at our end. Yet, the inlet water from GMDA continues to show contamination. This clearly indicates a problem at the source itself."Passi added, "We are not at all mixing borewell water. Our only source of water of GMDA." The first sample, collected on April 26 by a team from PHC Harsaru, revealed the GMDA inlet water point contained nine colonies per 100 ml under Class III presumptive coliform count (PCC), while the society's outlet water — after internal distribution — showed an even worse reading of 14 colonies per 100 ml under Class IV PCC. Both were classified as unfit for water point is where GMDA's water comes in the storage tank of the society. The sample collected from this point shows nine colonies (it is the unit used to quantify presumptive coliform counts per 100 ml of sample.)However, residents said they conducted a chlorine check using a field testing kit after the first report and found no trace of chlorine in the GMDA-supplied water. "The absence of chlorine indicated a complete lapse in basic water disinfection," Passi said. A follow-up water sample was taken on May 5. The test report, which came on May 7, showed that the inlet water point was still tested under Class III PCC with six colonies per 100 ml and continued to fall outside acceptable standards.
