Bhavna Panday On Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives: We could say that I debuted with Karan Johar
On October 18, your favorite gang returns to Netflix with a new twist! The fabulous lives of Bhavna Panday, Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, and Seema Sajdeh will welcome new additions from Delhi as Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Shalini Passi, and Kalyani Saha Chawla join the mix in ‘Fabulous Lives v/s Bollywood Wives’. As Season 3 kicks off, Bhavna Panday, wife of actor Chunky Panday and mother to Bollywood star Ananya Panday, opens up about her experience, from initial apprehensions about being on screen and sharing her life to embracing her true self on screen.
Reflecting on how it all began, Bhavna said, “I was very unsure when I first got Bollywood Wives because it was something that I, the girls, and Karan (Johar) were doing for the first time. I was very nervous about how people would react to me because this was a reality show. I was not playing a character but representing myself and my family, so I had to be very cautious and careful.” Bhavna humorously acknowledged her first-time collaboration with renowned filmmaker Karan Johar, saying, “We could say that I debuted with Karan Johar,” adding a playful chuckle.
On her equation with the ladies, she says, “Season 3 is where we all have more of a comfort level with each other and the cameras. We have all been friends for so long that being with each other comes naturally to us. I have a very special equation with each of the girls; with this shared experience, our bond is even closer.”
As the series gained popularity, Bhavna’s comfort level grew. Now, with the highly anticipated third season of the show, she feels more confident than ever. “Over the seasons, I have gotten more comfortable in front of the camera and my skin. Earlier, I used to be more conscious — not about what I was saying, but how it might come across. But now, with this third season, I feel a lot more confident and comfortable, and I’ve opened up a lot more.”
Bhavna, known for her grace and poise, emphasized the importance of authenticity as her journey continued. “I’m not as bothered about what people think anymore, because I want to continue being myself more confidently.”
In the last season, Bhavna Panday wowed us all as she adopted natural remedies such as organic products and face yoga to maintain her beauty regime over the years. We cannot wait to see what this natural beauty queen brings to the screen this time around.
Season 3 of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives promises to showcase Bhavna Panday at her most authentic and self-assured, as she continues to balance her roles as a public figure, mother, and wife while navigating the dynamic world of reality television.
