Shalini Passi’s Elegance
Styled by celebrity fashion stylist Mohit Rai, host Shalini Passi
embodied an artistic metamorphosis that reflected the very spirit of
the MASH Ball. Her sartorial journey drew inspiration from the inner
dualities we all carry — beginning the evening as the White Swan in
a feathered, ethereal creation by Atelier Zuhra, symbolising purity,
grace, and control. As the night progressed, she transformed into
the Black Swan in a dramatic, sculpted ensemble by Amit GT,
channeling uninhibited freedom, sensuality, and power. This shift --
from light to dark, restraint to liberation — mirrored the Ball’s
deeper message: that creativity and transformation often emerge
from embracing one’s whole self, both the seen and the shadowed.

Bhagyashree, the timeless Bollywood icon, graced the MASH Ball

early childhood development, underscoring its impact as a vital tool
