The latest season of Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives featured many personal revelations. In one episode, Neelam Kothari discussed her first marriage for the first time, which moved not only the audience but also the show’s producer, Karan Johar, to tears. In a recent reunion interview for Netflix, Karan expressed his ongoing fear of facing difficult questions from his children.
Karan Johar opens up about his fear of facing difficult questions from his children: “They will find out things and I will have to be answerable”
Reflecting on the only moment that brought him to tears in all three seasons of the show, Karan Johar recalled when Neelam Kothari met Ekta Kapoor and spoke about her divorce from businessman Rishi Sethia for the first time. Johar noted, “I was pretty much a large part of that phase of your (Neelam) life. That really moved me because I remember those days so clearly. I really teared up, I was actually connecting to it on an emotional level. You spoke about your daughter and that’s also something that struck a chord with me. My constant fear is that I also have to deal with those questions from my own children, about my circumstances and that I have a modern family situation.”
He added, “They will find out things and I will have to be answerable. Being a single parent, I know I am answerable to my children about so many aspects. Thank you for sharing that Neelam, it was really beautiful.”
In the episode, Neelam Kothari recounted a moment with her daughter, and said, “I came home from work, and Ahana was with her friends. Normally, they’re always jumping around, screaming, and shouting. But this time, there was complete silence. Ahana approached me and said, ‘Mumma, you never told me you were divorced.’ I was taken aback and had no words. I asked her, ‘First of all, how do you know?’ She replied, ‘You’re a celebrity, so my friends and I were googling you. The first thing that came up was that you were divorced. You were married.’”
Reflecting on her first marriage, Neelam Kothari became emotional as she discussed the challenges of altering her identity. “I was told to wear Indian clothes, give up non-veg, and alcohol. I was fine with everything. I was also asked to change my name, and I did that, too. A lot of people do that. But changing my identity? That is something I was not okay with. I reached a point where I questioned myself, ‘How am I allowing this?’ There were several times when I used to be in a supermarket or out on lunch, and someone would come up to me and ask, ‘Are you Neelam the actress?’ And I had to say, ‘No, I am not Neelam,’” she shared.
For those who may not know, Neelam Kothari married her second husband, actor Samir Soni, in 2011. The couple adopted a daughter named Ahana in 2013. Meanwhile, Karan Johar is a father to twin children, Yash and Roohi, who were born through surrogacy in February 2017.
