Desi Bling’s Tabinda Sanpal is no Shalini Passi. There’s no glamour to her absurdity

Tabinda Sanpal owns over 40 kg of gold. And she claims that massaging her husband’s feet, trimming his nails, and ‘pampering’ him brings ‘Lakshmi’ into the house.

Tabinda Sanpal is the boss of the trad-wife multiverse. And she makes Bollywood’s very own Shalini Passi look sane. For those lucky enough not to know, Tabinda—or Binda, as she is called by family and friends—is the founder and director of ANAX Capital, a financial services firm based in Dubai. Tabinda and her husband, businessman Satish Sanpal, live in the Burj Khalifa, and they have opened the doors to their ultra-rich life for the Netflix series, Desi Bling.

Every time Tabinda opens her mouth, you are either laughing, blinking in disbelief, or wondering if she is just trying to stay in character. Satish’s personality, on the other hand, is all about establishing that he is “rich.” He came to Dubai from Jabalpur with “just” one million dirham (roughly Rs 2.6 crore) before making it big in the gold business.
