The ’80s icon, Neelam Kothari Soni, made her biggest comeback yet with Netflix’s Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives after 20 long years. But how many of Neelam’s fans even knew about her being the reason that superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri had met? There’s more to Neelam than just being a guarded Botox-fearing wife or a glam jewelry designer. Here’s getting to know Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives star Neelam Kothari Soni better.

Netflix’s newest unscripted offering introduces Neelam auditioning for a character called “Rani Ma” as she prepares for her big comeback. But looks like Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives is a bigger platform than ever for Neelam to start winning hearts again. With an accent that’s been making reality TV fans scratch their heads to refreshing memories about her “baby doll image” which made her their childhood crush, Neelam did come back with a bang. But of course, the Neelam who doesn’t “bargain” and also gets cold feet during Botox sessions is not the one they’d met when she did her first-ever Bollywood movie donkey years ago. And as Ekta Kapoor did predict on Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives, Neelam’s fans, both old and new are lapping her returning to their screens up with love.

Starting off with the Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives celeb’s confusing accent, it probably comes from the fact that Neelam is originally from Hong Kong. Neelam was born on November 9, 1969, to a Gujrati father, Shishir, and an Iranian mother, Afsheen. The Netflix star’s family seems to have been the one who introduced her to the fine art of jewelry making, having created high-class pieces traditionally for four generations. As per IndiaForums, NRI Neelam first attended the Island School in Hong Kong and later moved to Ruamrudee School Bangkok, where she claims she was a “terrible” student apart from being great at ballet. Neelam was just 14, having completed her 10th standard and on a vacation in Mumbai when she was noticed by her grandparents’ neighbor and director Ramesh Behl. Back then Neelam found the idea of acting “absolutely ludicrous” but did audition for her first movie two years later on her next trip to Mumbai.

The Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives’ Neelam’s first B-town break in 1984’s Jawaani turned out to be a major flop. But the then-16-year-old Neelam got noticed soon enough due to her natural acting skills and was offered Love 86 opposite the “Hero No. 1” of Bollywood, Govinda, with whom her “pairing became the toast of the town.” Neelam recalls how owing to her bad Hindi, she used to speak to Govinda in sign language, who according to HerZindagi wanted to marry her. However, at the same time, Neelam also dated another superstar, Bobby Deol, which lasted for a whole five years.

Since then, Neelam has acted in over 47 movies, including the blockbusters like Agneepath, Khudgarz, Ilzam, and Paap Ki Duniya. Kids from the ’90s, however, best remember the diva for playing VJ Neelam in 1998’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Before marrying Samir Soni in 2011, whom fans met in Bollywood Wives, Neelam was briefly married to Bangkok-based businessman Rishi Sethia in 2000. In 2013, Samir and Neelam adopted their daughter Ahana.

The Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives star was involved in a major controversy in 1998 when she was charged with poaching two blackbucks alongside Hum Saath Saath Hai co-stars Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Tabu. However, she was acquitted by the CJM court at Jodhpur in 2018. Before taking up the jewelry business full-time in 2001 with Neelam Jewels, she also tried her hand at veejaying. In 2011, the reality TV star had launched her first-ever store called Neelam Kothari Fine Jewels. While Neelam may have refused to play a “Rani Ma” in Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives, it surely looks like with her stunning comeback, this queen of hearts is here to stay!
