However, no official statements have been passed yet. If the reports are to be believed, Indian Matchmaking director Smriti Mundhra pitched the idea of the show to a TV producer in 2009/2010, however, the show was rejected for "not being white enough". In an interview with a leading news daily, Mundhra named the casting of the show 'the biggest hurdle', as the team had to go through a client list of 500 families, who were willing to be on camera. She added that the series initially started with about a dozen singles, however, they were rejected later.
