Ah loved this show… a walk down memory lane to the time of my own arranged marriage. So many cringey stereotypes that brought a huge smile to my face. My to be husband’s first email to me opened with “To be given to the understanding that…” 😁 we still email each other that way
Listen to this if you are Indian and you want to laugh at the great Indian arranged marriage or if you are not Indian and are curious about the whole darn thing!
