Indian Matchmaking on Netflix - anyone watching?

Why is Aparna on the show if she isn't even using Aunty Sima's match making service? There's no reason to feature her on this show, or any show.

Because people love to hate her.

I'm going to get it from the library and read it. I'll report back.

I wonder what happened with the poor guy in Nashik. I would have thought he should be focusing on someone closer to home, more traditional/conservative. Of course a Bombay socialite isn’t going to move to Nashik. He needs a hometown girl.

So I think his problem is his family’s chicken business. I do believe even meat eating families in India don’t want to marry into a family where the business is basically butchering chickens. They kept saying people didn’t want to go to Naushik. I had never heard of it but Wikipedia says it has ~1.5 mill people. That’s not a tiny village.

Why did it end so abruptly and by introducing the new British woman so randomly? I guess setting it up for next season but it was bad editing.

Yes another season, I assume a European market.

I dunno, but I was confused and not even sure it had ended!

Nadia seems really immature for her age. The giggling, the waffling, the pursuing a shiny new guy who walks through the door. That guy did nothing for me btw. I thought he looked you fans goofy. But different strokes I guess.

Aparna’s bowling alley date (Daman I think) was so cute.

Well shekar is gay and she detected it

What? Explain yourself!

I’m a NP, but I thought he was as well…kind of obvious?

I liked Viral the man. He was so entertained by female Viral being such a hot mess.

One more fan of male Viral. I binge watched the whole series yesterday. So enamored with Indian culture❤️

Yep. Also loved Viral man. He was cute! And definitely amused/befuddled/surprised by whatever she said…but always with a smile!

Aparna totally gives me the same vibes as Christina from Married at First Sight.

She is saying what many are thinking

I have been thinking that first part the whole time! Two very attractive people who are somehow much less attractive together, IMO

Love this show and enjoy the insight into Indian culture. I want to have my face read lol.
One question I have is that matching seems to be an old fashioned concept and many young Indians seem to reject it initially, why is that? Does it not work out? They show these old couples as examples of being matched but I don’t always get a vibe of happiness in those relationships

There's a difference between "arranged marriage" and "matchmaking". With the former, the parents had more control; with the latter, it's the children (with more than a little parental pressure ).
