Sima Taparia: Who is she in Indian Matchmaking Season 2?
Indian Matchmaking Season 1 was a huge success so “Sima Taparia of Mumbai” as she calls herself on the show is back to help her clients find great matches. The second season of this “famous” reality show will be available on Netflix on August 10 at 3 a.m. ET.
Fans will see some familiar faces this season, including our favorite matchmaker, Sima Taparia. Taparia rose to fame in 2018 for her work on Indian Matchmaking, which was written about in The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, South China Morning Post, and other newspapers. Taparia is known for helping wealthy Indian Marwari and Gujarati families find good couples.
Who is Sima Taparia?
Sima was born in Gulbarga to famous industrial legend Late Shri Rameshchandra Lahoti. From an early age, she easily remembered the people around her. At 19, she married Anup Taparia. At the time, Anup owned an industrial group in Mumbai which manufactured hand tools, magnets, textiles, medicines and exported goods.
Sima’s career was limited in many ways because she married into an Orthodox Marwari family.
Sima started an organization for Maheshwari women called Deepsakhi in 1993 and served as its first president. The group has 125 members and is currently based in South Mumbai. In 2018, 80 club members came together to create a new club called DS Novue.
Taparia is also a member of the Rotary club and led the Ruchika club as president. For those who didn’t know, Sima always had a way of figuring out how two people were related within minutes, even if she didn’t know the details. She used her talent to start a service to help eligible boys and girls find each other and get married. She said pretty much the same thing:
“Marriage is not just the reunion of two people and their families. It is also the meeting of two minds that complement each other.
She started out with a casual attitude, but when her friends told her to take the opportunity seriously, she changed her mind. Today, Taparia has customers from all over the world, including USA, UK, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, South Africa, Nigeria, etc.
In 2017, Sima was in a Netflix documentary called A Suitable Girl which won an award at the Tribeca Film Festival.
“When I meet clients in India, they usually have a good idea of the cost of their wedding. So I base my price, which I charge as a lump sum, on that golden number.
According to her website, Sima handles each high-profile matchmaking case in a “very personalized” way because family members don’t want their biography online.
Indian Matchmaking Season 2
In Indian Matchmaking Season 2 Nadia, Aparna and Pradhyuman will be back on Netflix. While Nadia and Aparna are still searching for love, Pradhyuman will tell his family and friends about his girlfriend.
Akshay, Viral, Arshneel, Shital and Vinesh will be on the show for the first time, and Sima will hear all about what they want in a partner.
In Indian Matchmaking Season 1, Sima could not find matches for any of his clients. So fans will have to wait until August 10 to see if she finds any matches for her clients this time around.
