Indian Matchmaking, which released on Netflix in July last year, has been nominated under the Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program category for an Emmy Award. The executive producers of the show are Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, JC Begley and Smriti Mundhra.
The show, headlined by Sima Taparia, dropped on Netflix on 16 July. It soon became a talked-about topic on social media with people pointing out the good, bad, and the ugly. Sima Taparia is a matchmaker from Mumbai who, even on the show, tried to find matches for Indian families.
As expected, people on social media had their share of mixed reactions about the Emmy nomination. Take a look:
Other shows nominated in this category are Becoming, Below Deck, RuPaul’s Drag Race Untucked and Selling Sunset.
The final winners of the 73rd Emmy Awards will be announced on 19 September.
