Inside Netflix's eye-opening look at arranged marriage, your next reality TV obsession
Instagram influencer Francesca Farago, star of the Netflix reality show “Too Hot to Handle,” dishes about her experience.Advertisement
If Jessica from “Love Is Blind” made your eyes do backflips, she faces stiff competition from globe-trotting Houston attorney Aparna Shewakramani. While it’s easy to categorize most of the singles featured on “Indian Matchmaking” into types — the nerdy guy , the sweet girl next door — an early standout for Person Most Likely To Make You Scream OMG at the TV is Shewakramani. She proves to be a challenge for Taparia with the laundry list of traits she’s looking for in a mate.
“I think she kind of breaks a lot of the stereotypes of what — to use the term from our culture — what a good match should look like,” she says. “There’s so much pressure that South Asian women face to conform to a certain type: be very charming and soft and agreeable and all of that. And I love that she just was like, ‘I’m not having any of that. I don’t care. That’s not me and I’m not going to pretend to be that just to find a spouse.
“I think that’s reflective of life, right?” Mundhra says. “I think that’s a way in which arranged marriage and matchmaking has evolved, particularly from its most traditional form: Matchmakers recognize that their role and the family’s role is to try to bring people together based on a common set of values in a bespoke way. And then, ultimately, two people have to decide how far we’re going to take it from there.
