'Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives': Who is Maheep Kapoor? Meet B-Town wife who loves spying on her neighborhood
If you thought star wives' lives were way different than our commoners' lives, you would be both right and wrong. In the trailer for Netflix's upcoming show 'Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives', we see glimpses of star wife, Maheep Kapoor's life.
In the background, we hear her voice busting the myth that contrary to popular opinion, the Bollywood wives do not lead a very glamorous life, and that their life gets very "mundane"! In the same vein, she also adds that she goes shopping in her Rolls Royce while staring blankly at the camera and wondering what other mode of transportation exists.
Maheep's statement about Rolls Royce drew quite some strong reactions on the Internet, but she managed to redeem herself when she was later seen looking through her binoculars at her neighborhood. Maheep explains that she doesn't spy on her neighbors, but likes to keep an eye on her Juhu neighborhood, before candidly adding that everybody would thank her for it later.
After watching the trailer, if you were left wondering who this eccentric star wife is, then we got you covered. Maheep is the wife of actor Sanjay Kapoor. This Australian-born jewelry designer moved to India with dreams of becoming a star. She briefly dabbled in modeling and acted in a film that wasn't received too well by the audience. Before she could dip her toes further into the glamorous world of acting and Bollywood, she caught the attention of Sanjay.
Sanjay, who reportedly has a soft spot for tall women, was instantly smitten by the young designer. He had dated popular Bollywood actresses Tabu and Sushmita Sen, prior to laying his eyes on Maheep. After briefly dating each other, they got married in 2002. The couple have two children together. Their daughter Shana Kapoor, recently entered Bollywood, not as an actress, but as an assistant director in one of her cousin's upcoming films.
Maheep runs a jewelry boutique with her friends- Seema Sachdev and Suzanne Khan. She is also the co-founder of Sanjay Kapoor Entertainment Private Limited company, with her husband Sanjay Kapoor. The production house produced a movie called 'Tevar'.
'Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives' will be available for streaming on Netflix from Friday, Novemebr 27.
