As a Woman, Netflix’s 'Indian Matchmaking' Isn’t Easy to Watch
as soon as it hit the streaming service. Being that I’m Indian, 31, and unmarried, the subject matter hit close to home—and frankly, was triggering. The series, which dropped on July 16, is centered around Sima Taparia , a professional matchmaker who’s praised as a savior with the answer to everyone’s problem: how to find a spouse.
I learned a lot about myself and got a nuanced look at the whole idea of matched marriages. Part of it was deprogramming things I had internalized, like feeling I was incomplete and not living up to my expectations of being a good daughter until I married. Part of it was recognizing that people of an older generation, like my mother, were coming from the only place they knew.
A lot has evolved in one generation. From my mother’s time to mine, it’s dizzying how many more options there are. But that kind of rapid change can be messy. Not everyone is going to catch up to it at the same time. Yeah, definitely. I’ll say that with the caveat that I don’t think it’s with bad intention or a conscious choice. Sima is a very matter-of-fact person, and she’s coming from a place of what she knows. Her own life and perspective are that women are always expected to compromise more to have a successful marriage. She’s seen that time and time again. She is coming from a well-intentioned place to make things as easy as possible for her clients and being realistic about the world we still live in.
