“I’m back!”
Did you just read this is Sima from Mumbai’s voice? If the answer is yes then you, my friend, are a true blue Indian Matchmaking addict.
The show has churned out two seasons so far and believe it or not, it has garnered great viewership. Many have hate-watched this show and made it a hit! Falling into the ‘cringe’ category as per pop culture, Indian Matchmaking revolves around famous matchmaker Sima Taparia, who hails from Mumbai.

Sima takes it upon herself to find ‘perfect’ partners for her clients all across the world. Some people have been trolling the show for its regressiveness, while others keep pointing at the fact that Sima’s success rate so far has been a big zero (at least on the show).
Such negativity has only worked in the show’s favour as it continues to break records. So much so that the lady herself recently announced that it has been renewed for season 3 and is in the works!

At the Sahitya AajTak 2022, in conversation with novelist Ravinder Singh, Taparia spoke about the criticism that Indian Matchmaking received. She also addressed the issues that she had with one of her clients, Aparna Shewakramani. She said, “The show becomes a hit when you get both reactions – positive and negative. That’s why Indian Matchmaking is a hit show.”

Reacting to Aparna not finding a suitable match, she said, “Aparna is stubborn. When you are stubborn, you get fewer matches. That’s what happened on the show. You should keep an eye on the criteria. If your criteria is too long, then you may not get matches.”
It doesn’t look like the two women are ready to bury the hatchet anytime soon as we saw Aparna voicing her side of the story in a firm manner in season 2. It remains to be seen, if she’ll be a part of the third one or not. Point to be noted, in season 2, Aparna was independently looking for a suitor and wasn’t Taparia’s client.

During the session, Sima Taparia confirmed that Indian Matchmaking has been renewed for Season 3. She said, “You’ll see Season 3 soon. Netflix will plan and announce soon. It’s ready completely. It will come out within a few months.”
