'Fabulous Lives...': Riddhima's apology to Shalini was edited out—here's why
What's the story
In a recent revelation, filmmaker Karan Johar revealed that an apology scene featuring Riddhima Kapoor Sahni was edited out from the Netflix show Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives.
The incident in question saw Kapoor Sahni accidentally spilling wine on co-star Shalini Passi's dress during a dinner scene.
This led to speculation among the Mumbai wives group about Kapoor Sahni's lack of an apology.
Scene removal
Johar clarified the reason behind the scene's removal
Johar, who is also the producer of the show, clarified during a virtual chat that Kapoor Sahni did apologize to Passi when they were in Mauritius.
However, this scene was not included in the final cut of the show as it was not visible since it was shot at night.
"The apology came on day 2 or day 3," said Passi.
Passi's perspective
Passi shared her feelings about the incident
Passi opened up about the incident and its aftermath in the same virtual chat.
She said, "I'm okay, I actually don't care. Ya, it's all in the past and I don't want to see the re-runs."
"I know what happened. I know how I was made to feel." She added that she felt sidelined by her own team members on the show.
