Mumbai on the 6th of September : If anyone needs to discover whether it hasn’t already done it already the reason Bollywood films are struggling in the theaters, they’ll need to check out the web series “Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’.It is the mind-set of Karan Johar, it is a snarky display of the type of life that the inhabitants of Bollywood live in their well-groomed homes that are away from the savage reality of India. How do you make Bollywood create films that make real people spend a fortune to take the time to watch them, if the industry’s top execs live in cocoons that are sterilised?
The same la-la land comes back to our lives thanks to the efforts of Karan Johar, of course, in ‘Koffee With Karan The show has turned into a show about sex and Alia Bhatt.As KJo gets older, but not as effortlessly as a Bordeaux claret, he can’t seem to be able to get Alia Bhatt out of his head.
She is always present in every conversations he is having with his guests and the most recent one was his insightful discussion on’suhaag”raat” with Katrina Kaif, pegged on Bhatt’s hilarious statement that the idea of the “first night” has been discarded.
As as if this “cult of stupidity that KJo coined — his own words and not ours cannot end here, he unfailingly talks about “manifesting” oneself” -it’s not his idea and not Rhonda Byrne’s, in case you remember “The Secret” on his “couch of manifestation’.
It all started with Vicky Kaushal ‘manifesting’ his love for Katrina.KJo is proud of bringing together Vicky as well as Katrina, Ranbir and Alia and he is currently at Sidharth’s Malhotra and Kiara Advani.KJo is the Bollywood’s version of Seema Taparia.
What’s behind all of this is an ever-growing desire to be at the center of the attention of an industry which has little to write about Bollywood.This obsession has manifested itself in the most recent time in the actor’s decision to be a judge on the cult show of dance, ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa which is back after 5 years with a slew of at-the-top performers, including such as of Nia Sharma, Rashami Desai, et and so on.
His company includes Madhuri Dixit Nene as well as Nora Fatehi, whom he called ‘hot’ and earned more attention beyond his daily limit.There’s not a single event in the show that KJo does not post via his Instagram account.
All of this is not helping the business get out of the rabbit hole it’s fallen into.It’s like Alice in Wonderland, but like all good image makers, KJo believes any promotion regardless of whether it’s self-promotional, works, especially when your net worth, according to the media, is 1,450 crore (and increasing!).This is a clever cover for an intelligent business mind.
It’s funny that regardless of all the criticism and memes, and all the boycotts, Karan is getting richerThe show “Koffee With Karan’ is among the top shows on Disney+ Hotstar (13 million viewers on each episode and growing! ) People are purchasing his polki jewelry brand Tyaani and people with the money are flocking to his trendy European eatery, Neuma, in South Mumbai.
It’s the location where you’re likely encounter an Gauri Khan, Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, and all the other people of the world who “Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives celebrates.It’s possible to think of it as a cringe festival but do KJo truly care? He is always getting the attention he seeks.
and the ego booster every man who is getting older requires on and off.I like hearing Maheep Kapoor tell that Shanaya has always wanted to play in an Dharma Productions film ever since she was just eight years old.What’s the difference between nepotism and friends?
