About this listen

Boys & Girls is an absurd, burlesque, cringey take on love and marriage the Indian way. Radhika Viswanathan delves into the highs and lows of being on the arranged marriage carousel in search of forever love. Along with her friends and producers Samyuktha and Menaka, they're on a journey to talk to the boys and girls who lived through making the ‘smart life choice’ and lived to tell the tale. They’re cleaning up the cobwebs, trying to figure out what Desi love is all about, and finally, performing a shamanic dance to put to bed all their unresolved emotions around this institution that refuses to die. Get ready to finally feel seen and experience healing! 100% Made in India. Produced by Vaaka Media and iHeartPodcasts.

    On paper Viveck looked like he was the one.

    A Bollywood-fed millennial, Radhika thinks about love and marriage. She agrees to meet a man her parents found online. What begins as a parental introduction through a matrimonial website makes her ask whether love in modern India can be found through careful parental curation. But where is the romance?
