Isn't that the basis of every single American reality TV show?

I thought she was very pretty in that unusual model looking way. Like Gisselle Bundchen. Not really pretty in a conventional way but takes amazing photos.

I also don’t think her nose is ugly. Small, Eurocentric style noses are not the only ones that are beautiful in India. Even Aishwarya Rai has a slight hook to her nose. Western beauty standards are not the only acceptable look.

+1. I think she’s gorgeous!

+2 Prettier from the front, but still lovely.

Yes and from one of my favorite poets

“ My issue with what they consider beautiful
is their concept of beauty centers around excluding people.
I find hair beautiful, when a woman wears it like a garden on her skin
that is the definition of beauty,
big hooked noses pointing upward to the sky like they’re rising to the occasion
skin the color of earth
my ancestors planted crops on
to feed a lineage of women
with thighs thick as tree trunks
eyes like almonds
deeply hooded with conviction
the rivers of Punjab
flow through my bloodstream
so don’t tell me my women
aren’t as beautiful
as the ones in your country.
Our backs
Tell stories
No books
Have the spine to carry.”

-Rupi Kaur

Wow! Loved this. Thanks for sharing

The jewelry the Mom gave her was absolutely incredible. I didn’t understand if that was from the family business
or purchased over the years, handed down. Can anyone comment on this-is it a tradition and what is the price take here-
Was she to be given a million dollars worth of jewelry and clothing.

What is this family worth? And the others?

Probably at least hundreds of thousands of dollars worth, if it's all gold. Sometimes it's silver plated with gold, but a family like that would probably be insulted I even suggested the possibility. South Asian brides get clothes and jewelry from the groom's family as well as a trousseau of clothes made before their wedding to wear after they wed. Traditionally they'd give away their old clothes to younger sister/cousins.
