Indian Matchmaking had premiered on Netflix in July 2020. The eight-episode long show followed single men and women trying their luck in an arranged marriage set-up. It also showed the bitter reality of traditional Indian matchmaking, and ended up becoming a guilty pleasure watch for many.
Talking about arrange marriages in India in today's age and time Sima told The Indian Express, "The idea of arranged marriages has also evolved. Gone are the days when parents would find matches and marry their children to suitable partners."
These days children also play an active part in the process of matchmaking. And sometimes, they feel they need some extra guidance and help," she added.
