The Great Indian Situationship: Confessions of a Millennial Matchmaker

by Priyanka Bharadwaj

English 224 pages 1 edition

Welcome to The Great Indian Situationship , where a first date may involve two people, four parents, three WhatsApp groups, one astrologer-and a background check that would impress the CBI. In contemporary India, finding love has become a high-stakes sorting algorithm. Drowning in choices yet struggling to choose, singles juggle multiple apps, filtering each other by salaries and star signs, hairlines and height requirements, exes and expectations. Drawing on real conversations and her own journey from engineer to ‘Marriage Broker Auntie’, Priyanka Bharadwaj unpacks the contradictions and quiet heartbreaks hiding behind every carefully curated profile-from child-free biodatas and using therapy as a flex to NRI dilemmas and the doomed pursuit of the ‘perfect match’. Funny, insightful and delightfully unfiltered, The Great Indian Situationship is a heartfelt look at love, marriage and the impossible expectations that come with both, revealing as much about who we are as who we hope to end up with.
