Neelam Kothari: When I was at the peak of my career, we did not have social media to gauge popularity

Neelima Kothari, who made her film debut in 80s, returned to showbiz with Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives on Netflix. After the success of the show, Neelima faced the sets of the reality show Super Dancer Chapter 4 with Govinda. She was pleasantly surprised by the love and adulation she received and shared being overwhelmed by the magnitude of how her body of work continues to be celebrated even today.

Neelam Kothari, in a statement, said, “At the time when I was at the peak of my career in films, we never had social media to give us a direct sense of our popularity, the excitement among fans and their appreciation. But being on a Netflix show first and then this appearance on a reality show have collectively made me realize how many fans I still have. People remember my work so fondly. I have been inundated with the most encouraging response through comments and direct messages on social media, and it almost feels like I’ve made a comeback! I have to say that this adulation and warmth really tempts and motivates me to be more active in the industry going forward.”
