The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The endless fascination with celebrity friendships often paints stars as untouchable, but Passi's account is refreshingly ordinary. She credits proximity, shared schools and old memories, not red-carpet glamour. That mundane reality gets lost in breathless coverage of Bollywood circles. The real test is whether such bonds survive outside the spotlight, something Passi's own description suggests they do. If anything, her story is a reminder that even superstars have neighbourhood ties like the rest of us. Will other celebs offer similarly grounded anecdotes? Unlikely, but one can hope.
