In a candid interview with Bollywood Bubble, Bhavana Pandey, star of The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, offered an insider’s perspective on producer Karan Johar’s unique role on the popular reality show. Johar, who leads Dharmatic Entertainment, is known both for his behind-the-scenes influence and his playful on-screen presence. According to Pandey, Karan effortlessly balances stirring up excitement and diffusing tension.
“Karan Johar is the king of everything, I feel. The amount that man works and the way he packs it all into a day—I really want to understand where he gets the energy from,” she shared. Known for his dedication, Karan is said to respond to calls and messages promptly despite his packed schedule. “If he can’t call you back, he’ll message you and say, ‘I’ll call you back in so much time.’ He’s very good with that,” Pandey added.
When asked if Karan also plays peacemaker among friends, Pandey chuckled, admitting, “He instigates and then he puts out the fire.” Describing him as both the instigator and the diplomat, Bhavana captured Karan’s flair for injecting drama into the lives of Bollywood’s elite while maintaining a friendly balance.
Pandey, who has been a regular on The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives since its 2020 debut, is no stranger to the show’s drama. The third season recently premiered on Netflix, showcasing the glamorous highs and relatable lows of Bollywood’s inner circle.
