Shalini Passi became mother at 20, talks about 'sibling-like' bond with son Robin Passi

Since the debut of Netflix's Fabulous Lives vs. Bollywood Wives, Shalini Passi has been the talk of the town. The 47-year-old gained notoriety for her spontaneous one-liners, outlook on life, and even her performance in the program. The fact that she is a mother of a 27-year-old, however, caught many people off guard. Shalini and her husband, Sanjay Passi, have a son named Robin Passi. At the age of 20, Shalini gave birth to Rahul. She talked about being a young mother and how she raised her kid like a younger brother in a recent interview.

"I used to go to the toy store and get as excited as my son," Shalini said in an interview. She said, "I'd take him to Disneyland and let him go crazy on the rides. I would then say to him, "Robin, let's take skating lessons." He used to go ice skating with me. So both of us are ice skating then I taught him skiing, scuba diving. We were like siblings. It is like we grew up together."

“He used to call up my mother and say, ‘Your daughter has lost it.’ He used to complain to my mother about me."
