If you were to make the Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives

In an ideal world, lets be real, the series shouldn't be made, but Netflix doesn't live in an ideal world, so, if you were in the team, who would you cast?

I think I would go for Kiran Rao/Gauri Khan (both are established names in Bollywood and Designing and are wives of the biggest names of the industry), Tahira Kashyap (she is well liked and is actually pretty vocal about her inhibitions of having an actor for a hubby and is an social media influencer, of sorts), Karishma Kapoor/Raveena Tondon/ Kajol/ Madhuri Dixit/ any actress who isn't in her prime but still is working or popular or known in the industry (to show how the shift of limelight starts affecting you) and Bhavna Pandey/ wife of any other Bollywood actor who isn't huge name himself (to show what it is like being married to "not a superstar" of the couple and the struggles to stay relevant)

I think I would go with both the names you mentioned. Also Suzanne Khan( not a wife but an ex-wife...I never understood her equation with Hrithik post divorce). I would also add Tahira and Mira in the picture as they both get a lot of limelight and perhaps add in someone like Sonam's mother who completely stays away from the limelight, to balance it out. But I would not cast any struggling actor's wife. I think there are enough wives of successful stars to make it an interesting affair, and that would also raise the stakes IMO.

I loved the show and the cast. They were hilarious and their friendship is love. I love Sussanne Khan. So maybe if they can add her to the sequel as well. But I am not sure if she is as close to the four as they are with each other. So if she is not such a close friend, I don't want her there because she might feel left out and we as an audience might feel awkward and won't be able to enjoy.

@bold: they've known each other for more than half their lives now and weren't just married, but have kids too. They are also one of each others oldest friends...I doubt any couple who decide to separate after so many years would want things to end on a bitter note. Why throw away everything else just because they couldn't remain married? And the kids get a healthy relationship with both so its a win win.

Main cast : Susanne, Gauri, Twinkle, Kiran

Cameos : Aish, Kareena, Kajol
