The counselor guy seemed really nice but sadly his qualities won’t really be valued as much in South Asian culture. The bubbly Guyanese girl was super cute, I really hope she finds a good dude. Sima auntie is a funny lady, I enjoyed watching her.

Not sure why everyone is commenting on appearances though, it’s common for south asians to have larger eyes, noses and lips; why are those features being disparaged as unattractive. Seems racist.

In the looks department, the main characters were certainly less than average. Exception was the Guyanese girl. The sikhni mom was also cute although out of shape.

No, there were multiple disparaging comments about the beautiful model girl's aqualine nose, which is common in South Asians, especially those from the north.

Yeah I’m the pp who noticed that people commented a lot on looks, but most of the cast seemed decent looking to me with some cute folks as well. But then again I’m South Asian, and I think the diversity and beauty of fellow south Asians is pretty cool. Nothing wrong with having bigger features, especially large eyes which most South Asians have, I personally find them more attractive. And the model had a very cute nose, I don’t know why she was being dumped on, she was a very pretty girl.

Houston real estate is relatively cheap, so we are not talking about Arlington, VA. Her house really isn't that nice -- the house itself, the decor, or anything about it. At some point they show her clinking wine glasses with her "friends" (how do they tolerate her?) and the glasses look like she got them off of the Pier 1 clearance rack.

I wouldn't judge her for it EXCEPT that she holds herself out as having the highest of standards and nothing being good enough. She supposedly a successful attorney but she does not present that way at all, especially her home. She's been a successful lawyer for 10 years and has a home that needs a shabby chic makeover.

I agree her decor was cheap and tacky, but if you check out her Instagram, it's clear she spends a lot on travel.

She’s an in-house lawyer in Texas. Does she even break six figures? Either she is in a ton of debt between law school, house and travel, or her mom is bankrolling her lifestyle.

You are deluded. Of course she makes over 6 figured - she said she is GC of an insurance company. Her house wasn’t my taste, BUT I am impressed she owns a home as a busy single professional and likely wouldn’t want anything larger because of added maintenance responsibilities. I think one of her set ups nailed her personality - she is probably fiercely loyal to her small network of family and friends and I had no difficulty seeing why she has close friends. Man, people are critical here. Aparna summed it best when she said she isn’t bothered by rejection, because she likes herself. Awesome attitude.

She was GC of an insurance company for 6 months and hasn't worked there since Oct 2019. She clearly hates the work, and hasn't managed to stay at any job longer than a bit over 2 yrs. She's clearly smart but not very successful, which isn't surprising given her poor people skills and complete lack of ability to look at herself and see where there might be issues.
