Awful and Awesome Ep 300: Awfaah, Indian Matchmaking, The Diplomat

While talking about Indian Matchmaking Season 3:

Abhinandan: Even if I had the time to watch this, I would not have…It’s just so bad. I refuse to watch this. 

Rajyasree: Is that why you’re going to London? (Referring to the upcoming Newslaundry subscriber meet). Because Indian Matchmaking Season 3 is basically Sima (Taparia) aunty taking over London. 

Abhinandan: Well, she can come to the subscriber meet then. 

Rajyasree: The kind of publicity you’ll get if she comes to the subscriber meet! (Cracks up)

Nainika: I’m sure Abhinandan would make a great participant on the show.

Rajyashree: Going by the people they have, sure! 

Abhinandan: Is it a game show?

Nainika: No! (Pauses) Well, marriage is a game show, technically!

Abhinandan: Profound thoughts from the youth! The Gen Z! (laughs)

This and a whole lot of stuff on Awful and Awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri, Rajyasree Sen, and Nainika Singh Rathore review the series The Diplomat, Indian Matchmaking Season 3, and the film Afwaah in a special 300th episode live stream.
