[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm married to an Indian guy and I had no idea height was such a big deal!

I liked the show but wish they had provided more updates on the couples.  Hoping for a season 2 for answers![/quote]

Me too!   I’m 5’2 American with Indian - American husband of 20 years.  I keep telling him I had no idea I would not have made the cut![/quote]

Are you white? Your pale skin made up for your lack of height.

Lol. So true. [/quote]

Nooo...you would need to look white but not be white. They want someone indian.

The colorism in India is sickening. Someone upthread said the rich people are lighter skinned. I don’t know if that’s true, there are lots of business people etc who are not light, but if you look at Bollywood or any TV/ commercials, everyone looks almost white. And a light skinned girl can definitely “marry up” and improve her station in life just based on that. There is a huge skin face lightening industry there as well.  I have never seen a kid in India with a non-white doll. Indian children’s book characters look white. It is very sad. [/quote]
