Samir Soni on Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives

Samir Soni recently said that Neelam Kothari had apprehensions about doing Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives.

While speaking about the time the offer of the Netflix series came to Neelam, Samir stated that, “When she told me that Dharmatics, Karan, and all had approached these four girls for the show, so I told her… she was humming and hawing. She was very concerned that if she makes a comeback now, what will people say. Because, obviously, you age in 20 years and your last image is that… so (she felt) people will say she’s not the same, she was very scared.”

He further said, “People’s memory is very short…I said it’s a reality show; they’ll rip you, be rest assured. Their job is that. People who are watching are looking for something to entertain themselves.” “Honestly, I thought who’s going to watch this because I myself don’t watch reality TV… I was taking it very lightly, the first season. After that people started asking me ‘How is ma’am?’ This was just after one season. I was like ‘wow’. After the second season, it was even bigger because it became one of the top ten international shows for Netflix.”
