Speaking about her businessman husband, Sanjay Passi, Shalini Passi said, “Sanjay doesn’t watch TV, he reads news on apps and stuff. He doesn’t allow anyone to watch the news on TV. After all, I get very disturbed because everyone speaks so loudly and those red bands come to the scrolling, it’s the same line, it is not like I am learning anything new. So that was giving me a lot of stress, and no one was allowed to switch on the TV when I was around. So he is quite happy about it, a lot of his friends, aunties message him, all the cousins from all over the world, friends so he is very happy that it has turned out well.”
