“This show on Netflix #IndianMatchmaking is so cringy. It’s everything about Indian culture I hate and I’m so glad I stood up for myself to be with someone outside of that culture and who loves me FOR ME and not just cause I’m ‘successful or pretty’.”

However, some of the viewers supported ‘Indian matchmaking’, as they are reality has been portrayed well. “I’m watching #IndianMatchmaking and I’m cringing so hard. Because while non desis see this as a reality show… this is kind of actually legit. People actually act like this, it’s not even fake. Ok a lil fake for the show but still,”
