Indian Matchmaking’s Sima Taparia has left everyone shocked with her controversial remarks. In a recent interview, she discussed several topics including divorce and differences between Non-Resident Indians and Indians. Sima Aunty, as she is popularly called, mentioned that people who seek divorce are ‘egoistic’. Not just this, she made a controversial statement saying women who are highly educated are unlikely to listen to others.
“Those whom I have matched haven’t taken a divorce yet. But if it happened, it is because they don’t have patience, flexibility, no willingness to adjust and have egoism. That’s how problems are created. They don’t have the values of giving, sharing and caring,” she told Mashable India.
“People are divorcing because there is no patience, no adjustment, egoism, ladkiya itana padh likh lete hai toh they say why should I listen to anybody (Highly educated girls don’t listen to anybody),” Sima added.
In the same interview, Sima Taparia also made a colourist comment while discusing a matchmaking for a South Indian man in her show. “There is a very influential family in the South, their son is very dark. In the South, people are generally dark. His mom’s criteria list was very long. But thankfully they got the girl they exactly wished for. Not many people have such criteria but who doesn’t want a beautiful daughter-in-law,” she said.
Sima Taparia also discussed the difference in lifestyle of an NRI with that of an Indian and shared, “NRI’s can’t spread their wings everywhere because they have a lot of work to do. They have to do the house chores, drive their car, work in the office and cook for themselves. We are free birds in India, we are so lucky that we get domestic help here. So we can do many other things.”
Sima Taparia became a hopusehold name after the release of Indian Matchmaking in 2000. The show, which has two seasons now, was criticised by many for her controversial comments.
