New Delhi:
Netflix just released the trailer for Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Brides, a series based on the lives of four star wives – Seema Khan (married to Sohail Khan), Maheep Kapoor (wife to Sanjay Kapoor), Bhavana Pandey (wife to Chunky Pandey) and Neelam Kothari (married to Samir Soni). As the name suggests, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Brides seems to be just in tune with the title, but the narrator – who appears to be Maheep Kapoor, starts the trailer by saying, “People have this misconception about us that we have these ‘so glamorous lives’ but this isn’t really true. Our lives can be pretty mundane. “Then she continues,” Of course we’re going shopping in a Rolls-Royce … is there another mode of transportation? “
The trailer reveals that Seema, Maheep, Bhavana, and Neelam have been friends for 25 years and therefore share BFF’s strongest bond, but not without “taking pictures” of each other. Gauri Khan, who is also part of the Celebrity Wife Club, makes an appearance in the trailer, along with her superstar husband Shah Rukh Khan.
Within an hour of the trailer’s release, on YouTube, she received slightly more “likes” than “dislikes”, with viewers calling Netflix for “junk content.” Multiple users described Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Brides as an attempt to create a “desi“version of keeping up with the Kardashians. The reaction is a bit similar on Instagram and Twitter: “Do we really need these kinds of shows?” one Instagram user wrote on the Netflix post.
