Professionally we are rivals she and me are rivals, hello?
yeah
Definitely, Ananya does give tips
there are tips and she- I hope the good ones [Bhavna]
good ones and bad ones
I won't dial any of these
I will drunk-dial a hot man right?
why should I dial them?
She would play Shefali Shah's character in Darlings
Hi, everyone and this is Aaina and Welcome to Pinkvilla
I have the cast of the Fabulous lives of Bollywood wives with me today
Some fabulous ladies, welcome to Pinkvilla
Hi, thank you
So as we were discussing off camera
the world knows how season 1 happened to you all
and every time I've spoken to you all individually you all have mentioned that
you all are very sceptical when this idea was brought to you
when you all knew season 2 is coming up
was the- how different was the approach this time?
Did Karan need to convince you all again?
Karan?
No not at all so, season one I had I think the most apprehensons
and then when they announced and they told us that season 2 is happening
I was like yes!
So it was like a complete contrast
we were looking forward to working with each other
just being together again and let the madness unfold
which it did!
We actually started missing each other we had spent so much time together
Yeah otherwise
you missed me? Yeah
you missed the madness
I think due to covid I don't think we've met for a long time
all of us yeah
I was missing the madness
I think the most beautiful part about this show is it's a reality show
except for Neelam ma'am none of you all have been in front of the camera before
and you got to portray yourselves not a character but completely yourselves
your emotions, your relationship
when you all saw yourself on screen was it jarring and you felt like
maybe I should not let myself out this much in Season 2
Did you all refrain from anything
I think, with me I
I felt like... I could do more
with me from season 1 so maybe hopefully, I have opened up a little more
She has Yeah
I would veto this
She definitely pushed herself a lot more and more in comfortable
Because I wasn't sure how it was all going to be quite frankly in season1
and I was a little apprehensive
but after seeing the first season I felt way more comfortable in season2
Honestly, I forget you know when you're shooting and when you're talking
and you're amongst people you're comfortable with
I forget that the camera's on so
That is dangerous which is very dangerous [Maheep]
So I think in season 2 all of us
I'm speaking for each one of us I think we've sort of
come out of our comfort zones each one!
We've pushed ourselves and sort of, when you see season 2 you'll know
we've gone beneath the surface
we're like digging deeper into our lives, relationships
characters, personalities, so I think that's what you're gonna see in season2
what I want to is 25+ years you guys have this relationship
you guys are even professionally connected in some or the other way
does it get very difficult to maintain relationships when there is work also involved
Professionally we're rivals? She and me are rivals hello!
Yeah with jewellery our competition is all great
it's all good
I also think you know what us as friends it's not like we're hunky-dory all the time
we all hit our rough patches but-
That you've seen
but that you know, you come out of it stronger
I can say that. I mean you can't build s friendship like this over like
a few years it takes as I've always said it takes lots of like
mountains to climb to reach here
you know people ask this, but it's so weird, the thing is it's what makes
our friendship so unique compared to a lot of people out there
it's that this has never come in the way you know
when we're doing our show it's always us giving each other pointers
clothes this that makeup, whatever you know
we're always pushing each other on and
I've never-
Yeah actually we were always in sync
I think we always had each other's back
I mean you know I can fight with her but I have her back as well
I think I can speak yeah of course
yeah the same it goes both ways
I think that's what unique about us
The last time we spoke you did even in the first season we saw
you've been talking about comebacks in films and even spoke about that individually
Whats happening on that front?
So, I have done something
It's a small cameo
One episode I'm doing something,
but frankly speaking, right now my daughter's nine years old
I've got my two businesses running a home with a small child I mean
my plate is full right now
and this show and this show of course,
yeah so, I think right now, my focus is you know my work and my family
by all means, if something interesting comes my way
would I do it? Yes.
And for you Maheep, we saw in season 1 Sanjay sir being completely honest about
this industry is not a fairy tale and now Shanaya's debut
is going to be coming closer, she's going to go on floor next year
How is the atmosphere at home and how are you guys guiding her?
Like any parent would, we are always telling her the pros and the cons
more the cons more the hardships
more the stress that you have to take on, more the trolling
we discuss that a lot on the dining table so we're preparing her
and you know what she's grown up, she's not seen everything hunky-dory
She has seen her father struggle that's for everyone to see
and they've learnt from that so
yeah I mean we can prepare as much as you can
as a parent and the rest is destiny and the audience love and that's it
I would want to know do Shanaya and Ananya actually discuss
does Ananya guide Shanaya because Ananya has reached a point where
she is now tapping into every genre and has experience over the last few years
of course she does,
So how is the relationship between them and does it come to the relationship between you guys?
I think they've a beautiful relationship on their own
they have a lot to discuss with each other
Of course, Ananya has a lot of learning to do still
but whatever she has learnt this far of course she's sharing all her experiences
and everything with Shanaya and Suhana both, both are friends closest friends
and she also has a lot of learning to do I mean they're going to keep learning it's like
it's an ongoing process
But definitely, Ananya does give tips
there are tips and she- I hope the good ones
Good ones and bad ones and I sit on the dining table and listen to them
it's fab but yeah she does she gives her and it's great
And what is nice is that, each one, like they all take each other's
see even Shanaya and Suhana have probably not started out yet but
they also tell Ananya a lot because they're observing and they're watching you know
they come from another space and she learns a lot from them as well
Really? yes
She does in a lot of things Maheep, you know that
And because we're talking about kids
does Nirvan have any plans to join Bollywood
Hopefully not right now I mean he's still
it will happen eventually I mean he's born and brought up in this world
so it will happen eventually but as you know
boys take a little bit longer and he's still on his journey so,
Fingers crossed
Have you been talking to him about it?
Yeah... he talks a lot about it I mean he's still in that you know
phase, where he's testing the waters he's trying to find his way
and yeah I mean
I don't want to say anything that because he's got so many options
let's see where it goes
and lastly, what I want to know is like you guys said
you guys have your professional lives at the same time you're doing the show
and then you have your family to take care
as women how do you feel at what point does this get difficult to manage everything
because it's highly multitasking
it's always difficult, I'm always pulling out my hair
Ask my husband
yeah it's very hard we are trying all the time
our schedules get full
he tells me you need to quit one job
I think especially with kids what happens is you know
however grownup they are or little they are
they do need you
and at times you're at work and then you just feel like you know
oh God I wish I could be there with them at this time
daughters more as they're growing I think the sons
I think boys are definitely exhaust you they exhaust
I've become half a boy with those two
Boys in general are exhausting
they're not like- they're like
literally on a hamster wheel because which is why even I'm on a hamster wheel
before I go we're going to play 2 small games
one is the classic how well do you guys know each other
I think we've established that also
I always lose in these games always
Today you'll win, I have a feeling
just let me win I won the last game that we played
I want to win I was quite spot on
Who's most likely to have a fashion faux pas?
Seema
Fashion faux pas!
Seema you do- yeah yeah her
She's right
I like the way how she said no like I'm the fashionista, no you're wrong
She is a fashionista but she has the most sort of what are they called
malfunctions yeah
wardrobe malfunctions I do
Who's most likely to get the maximum tattoos
Seema
why don't I just get up and say that everything is mine
I can't do that
even I can't do that I'm loving this game
Easy easy-peasy
who would be arrested for doing something illegal
I don't know none of us
we're all very good
If they had said Seema- I nearly did [Bhavna]
Then I got scared of her heels she looked at my heels and
No no
It was like a name coming up
No I saw the heels, Impossible
It's not coming
spills out a secret eaasily
we are good at secrets- we're good at keeping secrets
All of you?
yeah it stays in the stomach very tight
yeah
if it is meant to be spilled out by someone then
if it's about one of us, we're quite tight
okay an outsider maybe
outsider? you want us to tell you? On Pinkvilla, are you crazy?
The prompter outside to telling all of us i think is Maheep
she gets all the news
I get the most information yeah
and sometimes her stomach gets full and she vomits a little
I am not telling you anything
That's why I'm not saying anything I want Maheep to keep telling me
Her stomach gets full sometimes,
I haven't said anything well done you're getting all the news
but this one's not
kill some one by accident?
How dare you?
No no nobody we can't kill anyone
I'm a very gentle soul
That's a wrong word I'm a gentle soul
Harm somebody yes.
Hurt somebody by accident yeah but not kill, no no
that's very harsh you made me a killer
No just shut your mouth
most likely to meet a ghost
this one
Both of them I think both of them not not seeing ghost and all
I'm scared of real people
I imagine the ghosts all the time yeah so maybe me
Shut up
Who's most likely to behave like a millennial and network over dms
Excuse me! Hello! See the outfit
There's no question
the crown goes to Seema
I called her millenial
I told you I have 2 boys? right? yeah
Question answered
Okay now I'm going to go each, quick
2 questions to each one of you
I'm going to start with Neelam so, who's the person you trust the most
I'm not looking I'm just looking down
So, each one is different
But that's what I was going to say yeah
You know what i would go to Maheep with some issue
I would go to Bhavna for the other and Seema for another
And I trust all 3 of them honestly
Okay if Seema saw the 3 of you all in trouble so the 3 of you all
Who would she save first?
See first of all Seema if she answers the phone
She's become better- that is the saving grace
if she answers the phone
what if she sees you all drowning or something- who would she save?
someone first [Aaina] I think she will fall out of the boat
and we'll have to save her
I think she would save me because I'm the only one who doesn't know how to swim
these two can swim. right?
Yeah that's you'll pull me down with you [Seema]
non-swimming is coming to you Bhavna well done
I could come [Bhavna]
Okay, Now Maheep if you had to drunk dial one of them first who would you-
Drunk dial? I won't dial any of them why would you dial us? [Seema]
Drunk dial a hot man right?
why should I dial these women?
No.
they'll chew my brains get my high down? No.
if Bhavna had a baby and she would want one of you all to babysit her baby
who would she go to?
Me.
because I'm amazing, I when I was pregnant with Shanaya
I used to come to her house every day, Ananya used to crawl
and come on top of my belly and sleep, so I had 2 babies pushing on my organs
I think they bonded there
And I never moved and I was so good with Ananya
I wiped her drool and put her to sleep
She would trust all of us
Shut up we have babysitted Ananya a lot listen they all-
Bhavna cannot have a baby for a starter
Bhavna is not answering this question because she's gonna get butchered
Can I tell you they are all amazing moms and
I would trust my baby with each one of them
and I'm not just saying it They're all amazing moms
Thanks
okay coming to Bhavna, if you knew you had to give all your money
or property to any one of them who would you give it to?
Do you know my husband?
Yeah? How can you ask me this question?
I am the Gujarati I'll handle it well.
Yeah maybe I'm the Sardarni [Maheep]
I'll spend it well.
you're not getting it for sure.
What do you mean by Gujarati?
Chunky would be saying are you crazy? you are not giving it to anyone I'll handle it
no no, we're related, right? you have to give it to me
He's not giving it to anyone of you all family first [Seema]
No it's going to him
he'll stand there in the front and he'll say you're not giving it to your friends
It's me. okay. Him
Neelam got to play a character from one of the recent films that have come in Bollywood
Which film would she pick?
That's a good question yeah

I was watching something last night and I said that this is what I would love to do
What is it? What did you watch?
Watched last night, was it a movie or a show?
Movie, okay I know I'll tell you what

Alia or Shefali
Shefali is very good [seema] I wouldn't mind playing Alia [Neelam]

millennial will play Alia and she'll do Shefali
Both Alia and Shefali were great they were superb
Brilliant...
And Seema, if you could call anyone for relationship advice, who would you call?
Listen how-, i'll go to them for different parts of my problems

And she would
Actually, there is no love guru in this room sorry
