series is up for consideration as Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program, following season 1’s nomination in that same category. Season 3 of the show, which premiered on Netflix last month, takes audiences to the U.K. for the first time, peeking into the lives of the young Indians living in London searching for their ideal love match with the expert guidance of the show’s captivating yet feisty matchmaker, Seema Taparia.
The matchmaking shows aren’t the only focus for Mundhra, who earned an Oscar nomination for the 2019 short documentary. She’s currently helming a new documentary film in Texas, and last year Mundhra directed an episode of the Disney+ documentary series Athena Nair in ‘Growing Up’] – such an incredible series – by my friend Raeshem Nijhon, who was the executive producer. It’s about coming-of-age stories from different perspectives, and creatively it really excited me.
Smriti Mundhra and Athena Nair attend Disney+’s ‘Growing Up’ premiere on September 7, 2022 in Hollywood.Mundhra stresses the need for an authentic portrayal of Athena’s story. “We had consultants who helped advise us on the right language and the way to really frame and present the story.
Mundhra concludes, “Ultimately, the way that we’re going to win is by volume and not by any one project. Because we are one fifth of the world’s population – we’re dozens of languages, we’re dozens of different religions, we’re so many different issues and layers. No one show is ever going to achieve all of that. And we shouldn’t have one show – we should have a hundred shows.
