RIDDHIMA KAPOOR SAHNI IS THE STAR ADDITION IN KARAN JOHAR'S TITLED FABULOUS LIVES VS BOLLYWOOD WIVES. IT'S A DEBUT TO WATCH OUT FOR, WRITES FARHANA FAROOK
FARHANA FAROOK
Kapoor & daughters

The camera and the Kapoors share a karmic conspiracy. You can't keep a Kapoor away from razzmatazz. That explains why Rishi and Neetu Kapoor's gorgeous daughter, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, at 44. agreed to feature in Karan Johar's glamour-driven reality show Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives. The show is a fun face-off between the original queens of Mumbai-Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari Soni, Seema Sajdeh, and Bhavana Pandey-and Delhi divas/entrepreneurs Shalini Passi, Kalyani Saha Chawla and Riddhima... adding the tadka and TRPs.

Glamour may be Riddhima's heirloom but so is her sense of rootedness. If her style score is stunning, so is her emotional gravitas, which helps her sieve the significant from the shallow. A devoted daughter, wife and mother... She's the satellite around her family. That's why she regrets missing the last call her father, made to her. That's why she believes that love has to be expressed today and not deferred to tomorrow. That beneath the varnish lies vulnerability. And life is all about recognising and respecting it...

YOUR TAKING TO THE CAMERA IN FABULOUS LIVES VS BOLLYWOOD WIVES COMES AS A SURPRISE!

We were attending a common friend's wedding overseas where Karan (Johar) mentioned he had something exciting in mind for me. Back in Mumbai, he called to inform me that the third season of Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives was being planned and he wanted to bring it to Delhi.

Karan believed the show would be incomplete without me. I was shellshocked. I called up my mum, who found the idea exciting. So I thought, let me give it a shot.
