The KJo produced show looks like a combo of the famous reality shows like \u201cKeeping up with the Kardashians\u201d and \u201cThe rich housewives of Beverly Hills\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brief<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a guilty pleasure of many of the Indian audiences to know how \u201cnormal\u201d are celebrity lifestyles. There are some scenes where you have to take off your headphones or completely low the volume because the arguments and the conversations get loud enough to give you a pounding headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The episode starts with Maheep and Sanjay along with daughter Shanaya Kapoor leaving for the Le Bal charity event in Paris. The event is organized for privileged youngsters who are about to step into society as debutants from around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, Shanaya Kapoor is the only deserving person from India to be a part of Le Bal! Really? &nbsp;The power of Nepotism!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Some cringe-worthy moments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The show lacks entertainment but there are some undeniable hysterical moments. There is a scene where the Kapoors are having lunch in Paris and Maheep and Shanaya start clicking pictures to which Sanjay says, \u201cDo we order to eat or to click pictures\u201d which proves Sanjay is the every Indian Dad! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Chunky Panday fixing cameras in his house just to see who drinks his half whiskey. If not Chunky who else to expect these things from! But that one scene that had me rolling on the floor was when Bhavana Panday showed up in heels for a beach clean up and Mozez&nbsp; Singh (Director-producer) showed up in Prada joggers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t end there, Bhavana Panday does not believe in using fillers and chemicals on her face so she uses the energy from the earth to naturally lift her face. Kudos to you Bhavana!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maheep stalks her Juhu neighborhood from her balcony with a pair of binoculars and admits that she isn\u2019t a stalker but she likes doing it. Bro, it is called stalking! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Characters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about the characters, Neelam is the most sensible, calm and genuine amongst the other three, and is dubious about making a comeback in Bollywood; but its hard to figure what\u2019s with her weird accent! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maheep is a foul-mouthed woman who can barely complete a sentence without abusing and cannot do without wine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bhavana is a diplomat whereas Seema is an energetic wittier personality who keeps sending her pictures to Kim Kardashian hoping one day she\u2019d get her reply!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of star cameos in the show. Stars like Arjun Kapoor will be seen giving reality checks to Maheep about Nepotism for Shanaya, KJo crashing the luxurious lunch dates with the ladies, Gauri and Shahrukh on their party bash, Raveena Tondon and Ekta Kapoor talking to Neelam about her comeback in movies and Malaika arora and Jahnvi kapoor as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Take<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The quad squad also plans a vacation to Doha giving us \u201cSex and the City\u201d feels but unfortunately fails to impress us again. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show is only about lavish lunches, a rich lifestyle, and too much glamour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will hardly gain any perspective after watching this \u201cmundane\u201d series. I would give a 4\/10 to this series and still wondering why was Neelam Kothari even a part of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankyou KJo for being honest and saying, \u201c<em> Why the f*#^! should I watch a show about 4 women who don\u2019t have jobs<\/em>\u201d because same!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review: The Fabulous lives of Bollywood Wives  \ud83d\udc4e<\/p>\n<p>Thankyou KJo for being honest and saying, \u201c Why the f*#^! should I watch a show about 4 women who don\u2019t have jobs\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Because same!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":2724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,125,55,119,78,148,80,149,70,79,33,102],"tags":[64,67,58],"class_list":["post-2722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-origin","category-directors","category-genres","category-hindi","category-indian","category-karan-johar","category-netflix","category-reality-television","category-review","category-streaming-service","category-tv-series","category-web-series-review","tag-editorial-picks","tag-tv-show-review","tag-tv-shows"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2722"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2722"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2722\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3895,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2722\/revisions\/3895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
