Neelam Kothari Soni never imagined that life after fifty could be so fabulous. The reality show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, produced by Karan Johar, has not only rejuvenated her career but has also introduced her to a new, younger audience. "I did films back in the '80s and '90s. Now at 54, being relevant to Gen X, Gen Y and even to children and older people is a huge achievement," she beams with pride. The show's blend of glamour, candid moments and the daily lives of Bollywood's elite has turned Neelam into a household name once again. Beyond the fame, this surge in popularity has had a tangible impact on her ventures. Her jewellery and interior designing business has experienced a significant growth, capitalising on the newfound attention.

Neelam's journey is a testament to the idea that reinvention knows no age and her story inspires others to embrace their passions at any stage of life. As she navigates this exciting chapter, her enthusiasm is palpable, proving that life can indeed get more fabulous with each passing year.

The third season of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, now intriguingly titled Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives, promises to be an exciting showdown.

This season features a 'glam-fueled face-off' between the original Mumbai crew and three new powerhouses: Delhi stylist and entrepreneur Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, luxury silverware designer Kalyani Saha Chawla, and art collector Shalini Passi. Neelam shares her enthusiasm, stating, "This time we have three new women on the show. So, the conversations and the settings are different." The dynamic between the two cities adds a fresh layer to the narrative, highlighting contrasting styles and sensibilities. What sets this season apart is the unscripted nature of the interactions.
