‘Doctor said for rest of..’: Shalini Passi reveals what happened to her after giving birth at 20, lost sensation in...

Shalini Passi, who gained popularity after appearing in Netflix's Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives Season 3, recently shared her struggles with severe spinal issues after giving birth to her son, Robin, at the young age of 20. Shalini revealed that she lost all sensation in her spine and legs post-delivery. Her doctor advised her to get spinal injections every six months and strictly prohibited activities like dancing and wearing heels. However, Shalini chose to defy these medical restrictions, opting to take control of her recovery through alternative therapies.

In an interview with Hauterrfly, Shalini recounted her challenging journey. “My doctor said, ‘You will have to get an injection in your spine for the rest of your life because I lost all sensation in my spine and legs,’” she said. Despite these warnings, Shalini decided to leave the doctor’s clinic and head straight to her dance class. “I love dancing, and I love wearing heels,” she shared, emphasizing her determination to reclaim her life.

Shalini began working on her body through Yoga, Ayurveda, exercise, and muscle-strengthening routines. With time, she managed to strengthen her back and regain her mobility. Today, she continues to visit the same doctor for regular checkups every five months, but she has never required the prescribed medications. Her doctor remains astonished by her recovery and often refers to it as a “miracle.”

Shalini also reflected on her bond with her son, Robin. In a conversation with Deepak Pareek, she shared that their relationship has always been more like siblings. “We grew up together. For the longest time, he called me by my name, and only recently he started addressing me as ‘mom,’” she said. Shalini fondly recalled their adventures, including visits to toy stores, Disneyland, skating classes, skiing, and scuba diving.

Her story is an inspiring testament to resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Through alternate therapies and self-belief, Shalini not only overcame her physical challenges but also nurtured a deep and unique connection with her son.
