Thanks to the blisteringly awful cringe fest of a reality show, Maheep Kapoor is finally making news. Spearheading the Netflix show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, her potty-mouth is making some people laugh, others left simply horrified.
An altogether base take on how wives of Indian actors live, the only person that comes out well in the first - and hopefully last - season of the show is Neelam Kothari.
Maheep Kapoor... well, she is funny, but the language and antics are shocking for the average Indian television viewer - explaining some of the terms to Indian aunties has been lol-tastic.
Karan Johar trying his best to be the Indian Andy Cohen is....well, somethin' else.
The temper and tantrums of Ms Maheep reminds us of the mini society scandal from way-back-when of 2009. When Maheep launched her line of jewellery, Sridevi posed for the jewellery brand, while she was on hiatus from films. This was long before English Vinglish, long after Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhoota. The images were spectacular, and the photos went viral in the media and the nation heard of the company - in a country that's teeming with so many brands.
Then, later that year, Sridevi walked the ramp for Queenie Dhody.... And Maheep, who was on social media, posted a rather cryptic dig and the Indian media implied that it was targeted at Sridevi. The truth never really got smoked out of the caves of innuendo as neither Maheep nor Sridevi ever spoke about it.
After than mini ripple on social media, things seemed to go back to normal. Maheep and Sanjay Kapoor were at Sridevi's premiere for English Vinglish, the entire clan was seen together at family events with seemingly no issues.
Guess it was a non issue... but the internet never forgets.
