Sima Taparia addresses criticism over her inability to make a single match on Indian Matchmaking: ‘Everyone who is criticising the show is stupid’

The matchmaker added, “Now if you say that marriages should happen in five months…everyone who is criticising the show is stupid. Paanch mahine mein shaadi kaise hogi? (How can someone get married in five months?)”

Earlier, Sima Taparia had told The Indian Express that the purpose of Indian Matchmaking was only to showcase how marriages happen in India. Reacting to her success rate on the show, she said, “The goal of the show was to show the process of Indian matchmaking to the world. In five months, how do you think it is possible that everyone will get married? If I was God, I would have matched three successful couples every day. But I am not. And since it’s a reality show, the success rate is very low because everything is real.”

Sima Taparia’s business of matchmaking has grown manifold, courtesy the popularity of Indian Matchmaking. Sima shared how she received bio-data from many prospective brides and grooms after the show’s first season premiered on Netflix during the coronavirus-induced lockdown.
