this show really portrays how narrow minded the Indian society can be. How is having a “fair” partner going to guarantee your marriage to last forever??? 🤦🏻♀️

Indian Matchmaking stars Aparna Shewakramani, Pradhyuman Maloo, Nadia Christina Jagessar, Vyasar Ganesan and Akshay, who aim to find love through a matchmaker. The narrator of the show is Sima Taparia, who guides her clients in the U.S. and India in the arranged marriage process, offering an inside look at the custom in a modern era. If the reports are to be believed, the makers might give the second season of Indian Matchmaking a green signal.
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.
