Reception
The series received overwhelmingly negative reviews. Debasree Purkayastha from '' The Hindu '' stated, "Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, Seema Khan and Bhavana Pandey star in this half-baked reality show that doesn’t have enough drama or wit to hold your attention". Devki Nehra from '' Firstpost'' wrote, "Fabulous Lives fulfils the voyeuristic drive of watching people unlike us in action, but is bereft of the drama that we have come to associate with reality TV".
Jyoti Knayal from '' India Today'' added, "The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives is the latest cringe fest from Netflix. You will hate it, but you will probably still watch it". Saibal Chatterjee from '' NDTV'' shared her review stating, "Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives Review: It does not offer any meaningful glimpses into lives of the stars and their families in an exacting, unforgiving movie industry where those with the right surnames are like cats."
