In the first two seasons of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, Maheep Kapoor and Seema Sajdeh were shown as close friends. However, in the third season, the two shared a changed dynamics, as things were clearly tense between the two. Throughout the eight episodes, the gap in their friendship was highlighted, eventually Karan Johar had to intervene to sort things out between the two friends. During a conversation between the three, Seema revealed how she was held guilty for spreading Covid to Maheep Kapoor and her family including her old parents and daughter Shanaya. “I was blamed as the super-spreader”, said Seema while she addressed her issues to Karan.
In the final episode, Maheep, while speaking to the camera shared, “Seema and I are socially totally fine with each other. But I think Karan picked up on something at Gauri’s party and he said, ‘Listen, we need to talk about it.’”
Speaking to the duo, Karan said, “Today when I see the dynamics have all changed. I feel like Bhavana is close to both of you individually. But there seems to be like a wall that has come between the two of you. Friends are for life. You make them, they’re very rare. Seema, to ask you, because you know that there’s been a distance between you and Maheep. What do you think the distance is because of?”
Seema replied, “For the first time in our friendship, we are at opposite ends. We always used to say we balance each other out, we’re yin and yang. But in the last two years, there’s been so many incidents and so much that’s happened ever since that Covid incident. I got sick a week prior to finding out I had Covid. I was shooting for the show. I was testing twice a week. I really did not think I had Covid, Karan. At that point, I was completely being blamed as a super-spreader. When Maheep got Covid, I was like ‘Is Maheep okay? Are her parents okay? Is Shanaya okay?’ I called her every day, twice a day. I didn’t get a call back.”
Maheep interrupted Seema and said in her defence, “I was going through my own madness in my head. I had exposed myself, my old parents and Shanaya (to Covid). We all fell down like ninepins. Understand the trauma that I was going through after my house help Rekha passed away due to the virus, when doctors are saying my old mother needs to go to hospital.”
Seema then added, “When she (Maheep) got diabetes (a few months after contracting Covid), Karan, it was twofold. I have died. I have thought that ‘Have I given her diabetes? Is it my fault?’ I spoke to Sanjay who told me that Maheep is in the hospital. I have reached out, ask Shanaya if you don’t believe me, every day I called. I have on occasion reached the hospital gate, Karan, and Shanaya said, ‘Mum doesn’t want to see anybody’. I have done a U-turn and come home.”
Speaking to camera, Seema said, “When she got diabetes, it was like a wave of guilt that hit me all over again because I was like, ‘Is this because of the Covid?’ Did I give her Covid? And its not something easy to live with.”
Maheep replied, “I don’t want to play the victim, but according to my doctor, the diabetes could be a repercussion of the Covid.” Pointing towards Seema, Maheep said, “I was never blaming her for it. I am an adult, Karan. I understand. There were a lot of moronic things that happened. New Year’s, we went to San Francisco, we were supposed to go together. She decided, ‘Listen, it’s too much for me. I need to run away.’ She’s left. I reached San Francisco on my own with my son. So it hit me.”
She added, “I have confronted Seema when I came back from San Francisco because you called me up and said, ‘Maheep, you need to sort this out. Friendships like this doesn’t happen.’ I said yes.
“It was met with a lot of ego, and it was a slow disintegration since then. Is this a close friend who does this? And I fell that, yes, Seema has gone through a lot, but I went through that trauma also. I am not trying to cut you out. I am just going through my turmoil. And the problem, I feel, with Seema is as long as life is hunky-dory, it’s fine. When shit hits the fan, we don’t walk away from each other.”
After a lot back and forth, and Karan’s intervention, the two decided to heal through communicating with each other.
