"Sima Aunty is not the villain; Nadia is": This is the common sentiment that echoed on social media after the second season of Indian Matchmaking started streaming on Netflix.?
Nadia, who was touted as charming in the first edition of Sima Taparia's show, is being slammed on social media for dumping Shekhar.?
Nadia Jagessar was one of the regular faces from the first season who returned for the second season of Netflix's Indian Matchmaking, which premiered on Wednesday.?
When it was revealed that Nadia would return to the show, fans hoped that she would finally find what she was looking for this time. The Indo-Guyanese-American woman had been through some rough times in the show's first season after she claimed to have been ghosted by Vinay.
But once again, she was not in the most favorable circumstances. Nadia hosted a mixer for Sima Taparia and everybody associated with the show to kick off the season.?
Nadia says they've been conversing for a while, and we see Shekhar visit Nadia's family. However, things take a strange turn at the mixer after Nadia meets Vishal.
Shekhar is entirely out of the picture as the two form an instant bond. Nadia is in love with Vishal, even though he is seven years younger than her. She and Shekhar parted ways through Facetime, with him visibly distraught.?
A few episodes later, Vishal breaks up with Nadia because he can't feel any love connection. The scene leaves Nadia devastated.?However, fans seem relieved that Karma has hit Nadia just right instead of empathizing with Nadia over a broken heart.
Nadia's appearance on the show has prompted a wide range of emotions. While some empathize with her, many have condemned her for dumping Shekhar, who was completely caught off guard.
Fans are outraged and are blaming Nadia for choosing Vishal over Shekhar and dumping him over a phone call.?Here's what the internet is saying:?
The 8-episode series based on arranged marriages had a considerable ensemble of exciting personalities, starting with Sima. The famous line from the show, “Hello, I am Sima Taparia from Mumbai,” had gone viral on social media since the show was released.?
While some people thought the show was a little regressive, it shed awareness on the terrible reality across India.?
With the awkward pauses, choice of music, and some of the dialogues that may have you in splits, it isn't easy to comprehend that the reality show was not designed to be a comic.?
The concept of matching 'kundlis,' choosing a girl with 'fair complexion,' a 'decent height,' or who is 'flexible' in temperament, and the matchmaker's famous advice - 'you will have to compromise,' makes up for the overwhelming majority of the show.
The series is produced by Industrial Media’s The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), LLC. As per Variety, executive producers are Aaron Saidman, Eli Holzman, Smriti Mundhra, and J.C. Begley.
