'Call me Bae' a review

AP in 'Call me Bae' 

Ever since watching the finale of The Bachelorette last Tuesday, I decided to take a detox from toxic reality shows and toxic dramas. IYKYK

Enter: 'Call me Bae.' A show is about a young women, Bella or 'Bae' who goes from riches to rags after a scandal. She loses family, friends, and her luxurious life in a blink of an eye. Will she pick up the pieces of her life and start again or crumble and hide in a penthouse? Who knows. 

I really like the premises of this show. You can be anyone and still have your life take a complete 180° turn. Also, no one can play a spoiled brat quite like a Bollywood star kid. They know a thing or two about growing up with a golden spoon paired with a constant pressure to keep up appearances. 

Ananya Panday plays the titular character very well. Despite Bae's many character flaws, you can't help but feel bad for her predicament. She is clueless but not completely hopeless. And that's where show watchers can relate to her. Even in her toughest and lowest moments she is kind. She builds community around her and focuses on her strengths. It's very Emily in Paris but in set in Delhi and Mumbai.

The production level is really good and the iconic reference to SidKiara's wedding was a funny addition. In fact, it has many funny and comedic moments. Overall, a 3.5 stars 🌟 

Ps. I think we all need to have a personalized morning affirmations like Bae.
