On the fake reality Netflix show the ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’, Ekta Kapoor made a special appearance in one episode to meet up with Neelam as the latter was unsure about making a comeback, which is kind of ironic since this Netflix show was being promoted as her comeback.
So on the episode while talking to Ekta about her apprehensions, Neelam suddenly gets asked about this show that Ekta has mind for her.

Well, Ekta said this out of nowhere to someone who wants to make her comeback after 20 years! Obviously, we thought she made it up like KebabJo does with this rapid fire question “if someone puts a gun to your face and forces you to have a gay encounter….”blabla
Turned out the show that Ekta was talking about is real and did happen! It’s called ‘The Married Woman’ and will be released on March 8.
Here’s the trailer of ‘The Married Woman’:
A Married Woman, written by Manju Kapur, is story of Astha, a middle-class Delhi woman with kids and a loving husband, who gets into an unconventional relationship with a younger woman. The story is set at a time of political and religious turmoil. The book is set against a backdrop of Babri Masjid demolition in 1992.
From the ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’, it sounded too good to be true but turned out it is!
Based on a famous book of the same title, the show is produced by Ekta Kapoor under her company ALTBalaji, which makes us wonder whether it will be cheap or tastefully done. The role of the married woman is played by Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra is the other woman she falls in love with.
Seriously though, it would have been epic if Neelam did make this show her comeback but if you think about it, the time she was acting in films, it was way too conservative. Based on her reaction to Ekta on the show, she doesn’t seem the type to experiment. It’s strange Ekta didn’t know that since she claimed to be friends with Neelam since she was 15!
Anyway, whoever watches the show, let us know if it’s good enough to watch.
