Viral Joshi and Aashay Shah
The duo, where the guy had to meet the girl’s parents on their first date itself, are still together and, as LA Times quoted Joshi saying, ‘things are going great’, before adding that they are excited to see ‘where things go’. Is marriage on the cards? Sima aunty would know for sure!
Shital Patel and Niraj Mehta
Patel has confirmed that she and Mehta are still together, but refused to tell LA Times more about it as they will be featured in Season 3 of Indian Matchmaking. 'We’re very happy,' she told the publication. The pretty Indian girl did reveal that her parents keep asking when are they going to get married, but she is quick to ask them to ‘pump the brakes’ on those questions.
Nadia Jagessar and Shekar Jayaraman
The couple, who started seeing each other after Sima aunty brought them together in season one, broke up even before the show had aired. Yes, Nadia didn’t really think Jayaraman was the one for her early on. However, after facing social media backlash, as reported by SK Pop, Jagessar, half-heartedly, did come back for season two but was quick to friend-zone Jayaraman for a younger guy: Vishal Kalyanasundaram. But, unfortunately, Nadia got dumped within weeks of them starting to date. “Maybe I should have listened to Sima aunty upfront," she told LA Times.
Nadia Jagessar and Shekar Jayaraman met once last year, but she felt it again and he didn’t. So, it's officially over.
