Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives review: A 'fabulous' humdrum of utterly 'uninteresting' lives | Bollywood Life
It tries to be Sex and the City. It tries to keep up with Keeping Up With the Kardashians. It even tries to stir gossip like Gossip Girl, and turn Hum Saath Saath Hain into ‘Hum Sassy Sassy Hain’, but while the first two shows aren’t making anybody’s list of must-watch TV anytime soon, what they do quite well is present voyeuristic pleasure, whereas the other two showed how you can run amok with gossip. Netflix’s new web series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, presented by Karan Johar, does none of that, but instead, offers an inside look into the lives of four women, whom, if given a chance, wouldn’t be included in anyone’s list of famous Bollywood Wives, least of all ones drawn up by industry insiders themselves.

What’s it about
A not-so-insider’s look is given into the monotonous lives of Maheep Kapoor (Sanjay Kapoor’s wife), Neelam Kothari (a fairly well-known actress herself back in the day and now, Samir Soni’s wife), Seema Khan (Sohail Khan’s wife) and Bhavana Pandey (Chunky Panday’s wife and Ananya Panday’s mother), their daily shenanigans and what keeps them interested as also what keeps the wheels of their friendship churning. However, none of the sneak peek’s shown are either that sneaky or even remotely interesting.

What’s hot
Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s cameo is the only saving grace in this trainwreck meant strictly for the one percenters, among whom, too, there wouldn’t be many takers. If not for these two star cameos, especially SRK displaying his legendary wit, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives wouldn’t have a solitary redeeming quality.
