Reality TV star, Jessel Taank, from the popular American show, 'The Real Housewives of New York City', shared her desire to explore India.
The Real Housewives of New York fame, Jessel Taank shared that she would like to explore India. The reality TV star was in Mumbai recently on a week-long visit. During her visit, Jessel shared that India's economic and cultural developments are notable and she would like for her family to experience the country.
During a recent interview, Jessle shared that there will be a collaboration between the two reality shows in the future. However, she did not disclose much about the said crossover, she hinted that it is in the works. Adding to the conversation, she admitted that the audience enjoys the authenticity, drama and gossip these shows bring and that's why they are so loved. She said:
"Let me tell you, we are gonna do a crossover with The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives and The Real Housewives of New York at some point. I can't say what it is right now. It's in the works. People love to be nosy and want gossip so watching reality TV gives them a chance to see the real people. They like the drama and gossip. I'm very authentic and honest. Reality shows are a window into the glamorous lives of real people. I have met people who love watching reality shows as we're not playing a role, or being someone else, we're actually ourselves. And that's why they connect with us, trust us and they really know everything that's happening in our lives."
Jessel admitted that watching The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives is her guilty pleasure. She shared that she was intrigued by the similarities between the two shows. However, getting insight into the lives of Bollywood stars is why she stuck with watching the show. Taank further shared that her show co-stars including her don't have any links with the movie industry, while the Bollywood wives have been included in the industry one way or the other. She shared:
"It's the mirror show of The Real Housewives of New York. So I was curious. These women have been part of Bollywood in some form or the other, so to get a snapshot into their lives and families was interesting. I can see why people are so obsessed with the show. While on our show The Real Housewives of New York, we are all established women but we don't have a history of being in the movie industry."
The reality star shared that she was first drawn to the country when she was labelled the first Indian to be on The Real Housewives of New York. Even though she had been to the country before, for her wedding shopping, she hadn't gotten a chance to experience the country. Jessel shared that she met with some friends and designers during her visit but missed the Diwali parties so she will be back next year to enjoy them. She said:
"What really drew me to India, was the fact that I have been labelled as being the first Indian on The Real Housewives of New York and it's the biggest compliment yet I feel a bit of a disconnect. I have been here for wedding shopping before but it's been a while. But haven't really seen India. I met with some designers to help them come to the US and wanted to see what's happening on the fashion scene in Mumbai. I also met a lot of my friends but missed the Diwali parties, so next year, I have to come a little earlier. The city was so energetic."
