Indian Matchmaking’s “Sima aunty” is made fun of by Vir Das: Indian parents will…

Sima Taparia, also known as “Sima aunty” on the show Indian Matchmaking, was featured in a post by actor and comedian Vir Das. Indian matchmaker Sima frequently informs her customers that she will only be able to meet 60–70% of their needs when locating their life spouse. Vir made light of this by joking that parents in India would murder their children if they achieved this exam score.

“Indian parents will literally kill you if you earn 60 percent till you meet Sima aunty,” stated Vir in an Instagram post. That is the best you can do, then. Sumona Chakravarti, an actor, and Anaita Shroff, a stylist, both added laughing emojis to his message. And even then, Sima Aunty has a 0% success rate, one fan wrote. Another one wrote, “100% kisiko milta nahi hai (Nobody gets a 100%)” after quoting Sima’s words from the program.

For the perplexed audience, Sima aunty is the Karen of Brown Households, wrote another person in jest. Another person added, “I only paid Sima aunty 60% of the agreed broker costs. Because 60 to 70% is the maximum you can hope for. One recalled a recent encounter with Sima and exclaimed, “Oh my God, it was hilarious when we ran across Sima aunty on a recent trip to Canada.”

Sima Taparia, a matchmaker based in Mumbai, was introduced in the first season of Indian Matchmaking, which debuted on Netflix in 2020. Sima Taparia works to match men and women who want to be married based on their individual expectations, backgrounds, and social standing.

On the program, Sima said that the age difference between Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra makes them an unsuitable couple. She later admitted in an interview that Dharmendra and Hema Malini and Anushka Sharma are her ideal husband and wife.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community

JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.

JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics.

What HBO said

“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.

It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”

A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”

About Harry Potter series

Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.

The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.

Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
