Shalini Passi says her music teacher was angry after watching her sing on Fabulous Lives: ‘He said my students go to Indian Idol’

Shalini Passi has been all over the internet ever since she appeared on the latest season of Netflix’s Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. Shalini was one of the new cast members on the show along with Ranbir Kapoor’s sister Riddhima Sahni and Kalyani Chawla. Shalini, who is an art collector and philanthropist, won hearts with her unique personality on the show. Her dramatic outfits, museum-like home, and her love for the arts impressed many who watched the show. During the show, Shalini also spoke about her training in dance and music, and also showed off her singing skills but her music teacher didn’t appreciate how she performed on the Netflix series.

In one of the episodes, Shalini can be seen singing “Mitwa” on the show, and in another episode, she can be seen singing to a giraffe. During a recent interview, Shalini said that her music teacher was almost embarrassed with her singing on the show. Talking to MissMalini, Shalini said, “For the singing shot, my sir told me that you have not been practicing. You have had no time post COVID. My students go to Indian Idol. You cannot sing. He told me, ‘Madam, I am a respected person. My students to go Indian Idol. You can’t be singing in this voice without any rehearsals’.”

Shalini shared that after her appearance on the Netflix show, she has been receiving a lot of love through social media. She said, “The kind of love that I am getting is something else. Like people are saying ‘we want to be like you, we love what you do, we love your singing’. I am like, ‘What?’ They are like the giraffe would have come.” Shalini then quirkily shared, “The giraffe was actually almost there.”
