Filmmaker Karan Johar has revealed that he came up with the idea for the hit web series, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives while going for a chautha with Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey, Seema Khan and Neelam Kothari. During the flight to Delhi, he realised that the four women were "completely crazy" and needed a show of their own.
Karan revealed the same during a Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives reunion on Clubhouse which was moderated by journalist Janice Sequeira. “These four ladies are very special to me and have been for nearly two-and-a-half decades. But I want to tell you, the origin of this show happened on a flight. We took a flight to Delhi, we were actually going for a condolence meeting. One of our friends lost their father. We were on a flight to Delhi and that’s when I realised, and I have always known it, that these four women are completely crazy,” he said.
“Because we were discussing our attire, much like Madhur Bhandarkar’s Page 3, whether Neelam had too much shine on her white kurta or whether Maheep was underdressed for a chautha. It was inappropriate and it was idiotic and it was so much fun that I said that the four of them have to be on a show. They made something even like a chautha sound like such a massive problem in what they were wearing to what was happening. And it was like they were talking nonsense. And then when we reached, we had to play-act that we were really sad, and on our flight back, we were talking rubbish,” he added.
