Talking at the India Today Conclave recently, Neelam said The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives was not scripted at all. “It’s not scripted. They tell us we’ll be shooting at such and such venue but what we discuss is up to us. We decide to fight and cry, it depends on us,” she said.

She however added that they have agreed upon not touching a few of their personal topics on the show. She added, “I’ve known the three for almost 25 years. When we are together, we have a blast. Before the show started, we decided there are certain topics which are off-limits. Everything is genuine. Whenever we are having fun or a blast, it is all real. People are also enjoying this kind of content because there has been nothing like this before in India.”

Neelam was actively working as an actor in 1980s and 90s. She has featured in several films like Ilzaam (1986), Khudgarz (1987), Hatya (1988), Farz Ki Jung (1989), Taaqatwar (1989) and Do Qaidi (1989) and has also worked with Chunky, Bhavana’s husband in a number of films like Aag Hi Aag. 1999 film Hum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United is her last blockbuster.
