‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’ review: Netflix’s latest guilty pleasure is a dud

The Hindu  

If you have watched the trailer of the new Netflix reality series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, you know exactly what you are in for: the many splash of Gucci and glamour, B-town celebrity cameos including Shah Rukh Khan himself, carefully-designed dramatic overkill for the camera, and outrageous comments to raise your eyebrows. It’s loud, at times bitchy and over-the-top, but despite the setup, the show reveals almost no interesting insight into the lives of these Bollywood wives. Half-way through the first episode, which sets the tone for the half-baked affair, one wonders, “So where is the entertainment?” The show gives a peek into the ‘mundane’ lives of four friends: Maheep Kapoor, wife of actor Sanjay Kapoor; Neelam Kothari, once a well-known actor and wife of actor Samir Soni; Seema Khan, wife of actor Sohail Khan; and Bhavana Pandey, wife of actor Chunky Pandey and mother of Ananya Pandey. should I watch a show about four women who don’t have jobs?” The fabulous Bollywood wives are rich and seem to have fun, but unfortunately watching them ain’t much fun.
