Plot Overview: Season 3 of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives brings together the high-society women of Mumbai and Delhi, creating a rivalry as they attempt to outdo one another. The Mumbai-based wives—Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey, Seema Sajdeh, and Neelam Kothari—are joined by Delhi's fabulous wives, Riddhima Kapoor, Kalyani Chawla, and Shalini Passi. As the women try to get along, they embark on a trip to Mauritius, attempting to break the ice and bond more closely.
The question that looms throughout the season is whether the Bollywood wives from Mumbai can prove their superiority over their counterparts from Delhi—or will the socialites of Delhi demonstrate that they are the real deal? The season explores whether these interactions end in camaraderie or culminate in a sour fallout.
What Works: The season does have its standout moments. Highlights include Karan Johar opening up about his anxiety and the want to stay strong, a communique among Neelam Kothari and Ektaa Kapoor approximately Neelam's daughter coming across her divorce, Maheep Kapoor sharing personal moments with her kids, and Seema Sajdeh discussing existence submit-divorce together with her son, Nirvaan Khan. Additionally, Bhavana and Chunky Pandey replicate on their satisfaction in their daughter Ananya Panday's achievement. These intimate moments provide visitors a rare glimpse into the personal lives of Bollywood’s elite. There’s additionally leisure from visitor appearances, especially Orry, and Saif Ali Khan bringing a feel of calm closer to the season's conclusion.
What Falls Short: However, the primary battle between the better halves from Delhi and Mumbai feels shallow, scripted, and some distance too contrived. It lacks the sass and drama that would have made it an exciting guilty-pleasure watch. The premise of the opposition among the girls of those two cities had capability however failed in its execution.
The rivalry quickly becomes overshadowed by the personal stories of the Bollywood wives, diverting from the supposed central theme. While their personal journeys were important, the show’s advertised conflict of Delhi vs. Mumbai took a backseat too soon.
Performances: Among the Mumbai wives, Neelam Kothari was a delight to watch, while Bhavana Pandey brought a grounded simplicity to her role. Seema Sajdeh showcased her vulnerability beautifully, though Maheep Kapoor came off as overly dramatic and fake for much of the season, only showing her true side when it mattered.
As for the Delhi wives, Shalini Passi stood out, though it sometimes felt like she was trying too hard to be the center of attention. Riddhima Kapoor and Kalyani Chawla were fine but didn't offer anything particularly exciting.
The Bollywood husbands—Chunky Pandey, Sanjay Kapoor, and Samir Soni—were all charming in their roles. Guest appearances by Gauri Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Karan Johar added star power, with Saif bringing a much-needed sense of calm and positivity.
Final Verdict: While Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives S3 has its heartwarming moments and some entertaining guest spots, it lacks the sparkle and wit needed to make it a thoroughly enjoyable scripted-reality show. The season doesn’t quite live up to its potential as an exciting, dramatic series but can still be enjoyed if you’re a fan of Bollywood’s elite circle.
Season 3 is now available for streaming on Netflix.
