Recently, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar had accused Karan Johar of tweaking a title he owned called 'Bollywood Wives' and using it for an upcoming reality web series by Dharma Productions. The series by Dharma Productions is called The Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives.

He continued, "I know you have been upset with us. I humbly apologise for any grievance that has been caused to you during the course of the last few weeks. However, I would want to clarify that we have chosen this new and different title -The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives keeping in mind the non-fiction format of our reality-based franchise series. As our title was distine, I did not foresee it upsetting you as it has and for that I duly apologise."
He added. "I want to inform you that we have been promoting our series with the hashtag "Fabulous Lives" on all social media platforms, which is the franchise title we intend to go ahead with. We assure you that the format, nature, audience and the title of our series are different and would not in any manner dent or encumber the exploitation of your work."
