Clear your criteria list, because there are zero prerequisites for tuning in to the new season of Indian Matchmaking.
Sima Taparia — better known as Sima Aunty to her lovelorn clients — is back for Season 3. The docuseries will once again follow a group of South Asian singles in India and across the diaspora searching for their spouses. This time around, Mumbai’s top matchmaker has her work cut out for her, as she draws on decades of experience, traditional methods and her Aparna-proof intuition to counsel clients both old and new.
As fans of the show are well aware, there’s nothing Sima Aunty loves more (aside from Taco Bell) than helping people find their match — biodata compatibility pending, of course.
To prep you for the new episodes, here’s everything you need to know about Season 3.




All eight episodes of the new season will arrive on April 21.
Well, the stars have aligned because you’ll find the official trailer for the new season just above.
When we last left off, Sima saw some her clients walk down the aisle — and others step back onto the dating scene. But a matchmaker’s work is never done, especially when destiny is involved. Over the eight new episodes, Sima will try to find lifelong partners for a group of Indian and Indian American singles putting their future in her hands. Cross-referencing criteria lists, biodata and astrological charts, the matchmaker pulls from her extensive database to guide the singles through the process of arranged marriage.
And she’ll even get some help along the way. This season, Sima meets up with fellow matchmakers, some of whom are utilizing dating apps to make finding love just one swipe away.
Expect to see a blend of new and familiar faces seeking Sima’s help. The love story between Viral and Aashay continues to unfold this season, as the couple takes exciting steps in their relationship. Rushali, who you might remember from her disappointing Season 1 date with Pradhyuman, is still searching for a soulmate who will see beyond her beauty queen exterior. In the final moments of Season 2, fans also got a first glimpse of Priya, a young London-based divorcée, who’s giving dating another chance in the new season.
As for the newbies, prepare to be introduced to a frequently friendzoned math teacher, an ER doctor with a criteria list that might rival Aparna’s and a client that reminds Sima of her younger self.
“If I were to describe myself, desperate please help,” one new cast member jokes in the trailer, while another’s mother says her beatboxer son loves “the swag” in a potential partner.
With no shortage of singles to work with, the only thing more well-worn than Sima’s database is her passport. This year, Sima will take her matchmaking skills across the globe, making home visits in London, New Delhi, Miami, New York and beyond to help couples and families fulfill their destinies.
