Art collector and socialite Shalini Passi has revealed how she became friends with Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan. Speaking on Times Now Editor-in-Chief Navika Kumar's podcast Baatein Dil Se, Passi said the friendship came through her husband Sanjay Passi. Gauri and Sanjay were neighbours in Panchsheel, while Shah Rukh and Sanjay studied at the same university and school. Passi said she only met the couple when she got engaged or married. She described them as kind-hearted, large-hearted and hardworking. She noted that their children, Robin and Aryan, attended the same university in the same year, which added to the comfort level. Passi appeared in Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives and is now in The Traitors 2.
