Following her appearance on Netflix’s Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, Shalini Passi and everything she does has become the talk of the town. After opening up about her diet, the art collector recently revealed that she swears by kala namak, or black salt, for good health.

“Kala namak is the biggest detox for your health. Add it with lemon and water. It removes acidity from the body, it alkalises the body, and it will remove all water retention. It is amazing,” Passi told PinkVilla.
