Indian Matchmaking's second season started streaming on the OTT platform this month and the show is already receiving ample amounts attention. Viewers are eager to watch Sima Taparia from Mumbai back on the screen with some appalling suggestions for potential matches for her clients.
In one of her episodes, Sima Aunty made waves for referencing the celebrity couple Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. In a conversation with one of her clients, Nadia, who was developing feelings for Vishal, a man seven years her junior, she used them as an example. Adding further she also said that the famous couple did not suit each other, "But I don't feel it's a good match. Sorry to tell you that. They have married, but it's not a good match. He looks so small and petite in front of her, and she looks elder."
In a more recent interview, Taparia clarified her earlier remarks and claimed that she and Nadia had only been having a "casual talk." Talking about the couple, she said, "Everyone’s entitled to do what they want, and if they're happy then I'm happy for them and wish them the best."
Sima further talked about the process of receiving clients for their show and mentioned how people would sometimes write emails or call her saying "I want to be in Season 3". She also discussed the extensive background checks that production firms run on them in order to choose only individuals who are sincere about wanting to settle down in life.
Netflix's Indian Matchmaking released its trailer for season 2 in July, and since then it has received a series of mixed reactions from its viewers. While some called the show 'exciting', showcasing their eagerness to look at the new clients with their unique preferences and stories, others found it to be 'cringe' and 'problematic'.
