Episode Guide
I’ve dated a lot of chicks, been a boss on the vegan side, and love you like a friend. The looks of Clint Eastwood are very chulbuli all the bases covered. I feel like he’s the one.
Mrs. Sima Taparia is a widow who has been married for over 20 years and has experienced a lot of adjustment after her marriage. She tells you that everything gets adjusted after marriage, and that life becomes beautiful and smooth.
When the show “Indian Matchmaking” was renewed for another season, I was curious why. Then I went to Twitter and realized that Sima Aunty has actually made a fandom for herself across the world, and most fans wanted a sense of closure after the initial season. ..
The second season of “Indian Matchmaking” is largely similar to the first, with Sima Aunty living a dual life in the United States and India with a single profession: matchmaking. As she has a network of clients in both regions, the show moves between India and the West, with more attention paid to Indian-American clients in the United States who are looking for other Indian-Americans they want to marry. ..
Netflix is releasing one wedding show after another, but ‘Indian Matchmaking’ is a refreshing way to share the way in which Indian weddings actually go about and how a matchmaker really plays a key role in Indian arranged marriages. In the words of Sima Aunty, marriage is not only the union of two people like in the west but the union of two families altogether. ..
The season features some of Sima’s new clients like Akshay who has a “curse” that is hindering his plans to get married and Viral who wants a 90% match and would not even settle for 80% now. Shital who wants a guy as physically fit as she is and Vinesh, who believes that his future partner needs to cook as his mom does.
The show “Bigg Boss” has been popular in India for a few years now, and many people there are interested in watching it. However, some of the things that the contestants do to try to find a husband may not be typical in the United States, where people usually get married through traditional means. From face reading to a zoom chat with an astrologer to a ‘havan’ (prayer ceremony) to lift the curse, this season saw all the ways in which these clients try their best to find an ideal connection with people they would want to spend their futures with. ..
The show started with Akshay being the “most eligible bachelor in the world” after having “dated some chicks”. Over the course of the season, we learn that Akshay has a curse that is hindering his marriage which needs to be lifted with a prayer ceremony. I wish there was more about his journey to finding a partner, but if one were to trust the face reader Sima aunty trusts, we should get to see more of Akshay’s journey to finding an ideal match in the upcoming season.
The show had level-headed female clients like Viral and Shital who knew what they wanted and were sure that they would not settle for anything less than their worth. It’s pleasing to see both women settle down with their respective partners with the prospect of getting married. Shital shared a unique take with viewers of the show as she found a partner for herself after she was not entirely satisfied with the options Sima was laying out for her. Shital ended up finding her true match, a guy with whom she is deeply in love. ..
Arshneel and Rinkel are a cute couple, and I hope they get married by the end of Season 3. The show also featured Vinesh, who seemed like someone who had a chance with Mausam. Sometimes things don’t work out immediately, and it looks like there will be more of the loud and chaotic family Vinesh comes from in the next season. ..
The show “Indian Matchmaking” returned for its second season and featured Aparna as one of its clients. Aparna had given up on finding love through Sima’s methods of adjustment and flexibility, instead relying on fate. ..
Meanwhile, Pradhyuman Maloo is a happily married man now after finding true love in Asheena. This season saw Pradhyuman’s big fat Indian wedding where he married the girl of his dreams and even shared his beloved closet with her. Talk about progress!
Nadia has a secret that she’s been keeping from Shekar. She’s been in love with him for years and has never told him. Nadia is scared that he’ll break up with her if she reveals her feelings.
Nadia dumps Shekar after he tells her there was no spark between them. She feels that Vishal breaking up with Nadia for the same reason – stating that he was not able to find that spark in his relationship with her, felt like karma catching up.
The show is just as good as it gets when it comes to revealing the truth behind Indian Arranged Marriages, but there is obviously some sugar-coating to it. The quirky list that comes when ‘Indian Matchmaking’ continues as Sima aunty mindlessly listens to the criteria set by her clients is pure Netflix humor in all honesty. ..
The show is a quick watch that works well in the background for someone who is not as invested in the show. This season however offers some resolution to the questions that fans have been asking since season 1 ended.
This season’s story seemed more fruitful than the first, as it saw more couples ending up together. When Viral said, “I’m not looking for my better half but a complete person,” it was empowering to see how Indian women no longer feel like they need to find another person to feel complete and are self-satisfied in themselves. It seems like a whole new world is set to be explored as Sima aunty sets foot in the UK market with Priya listing down her criteria for the matchmaker to start working her magic wand over.
