Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives is streaming on Netflix India now. It follows four ‘Bollywood wives’ Seema Khan (wife of Sohail Khan), Maheep Kapoor (wife of Sanjay Kapoor), Bhavana Pandey (wife of Chunky Panday) and Neelam Kothari Soni (wife of Samir Soni). The reality show, produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment, also has a guest appearance by Bollywood’s power couple Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan. Bhavana’s daughter Ananya Panday and Maheep’s daughter Shanaya Kapoor also appear in cameo roles in the series.
The trailer of the web series showed how Maheep, Bhavana, Neelam and Seema have been close friends for many years. Ever since the trailer came out, many compared it to The Real Housewives, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and the second Sex and the City movie. Some social media users even tagged it as ‘cringe content’ and a ‘guilty pleasure’.
Ever since the show’s announcement, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey, Neelam Kothari Soni and Seema Khan have been posting several behind the scenes photos on social media. “With friends like these, how could life be anything but FABULOUS ?! 💖” Maheep Kapoor had written along with a photo from the show.
The women of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives hosted a mini-watch party as they watched a few scenes of the show together.
This new teaser of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives features Neelam Kothari's Soni segment. Ekta Kapoor also appears in the teaser as she encourages Neelam to make a comeback. Neelam quit movies almost 20 years ago.
