MUMBAI: In an age where dating apps are gaining currency and live-in relationships are recognized by the legal fraternity, there exist many communities within India and abroad that are still deep rooted in cultural traditions. The young men and women from these communities choose the time tested route of arranged marriages- an age old tradition where families play a pivotal role in selecting their life partner. FYI TV18 presents Arranged, a show on arranged marriages with a twist. Now in its second season, the show follows the journey of three couples on a roller-coaster ride of emotions as they experience this life changing arrangement.
The show will air every Monday and Tuesday at 9 pm.
From a young Jewish modern Orthodox couple in New York City, to a southern couple from Texas, to a couple raised by traditional East Indian parents living in California – each have a unique journey to marriage. Viewers will see the couples get to know one another from the lead-up to their weddings, through the joys and challenges of married life seen through the lens of their very different families and cultures. Meddling mother-in laws, money concerns, the struggle of adjusting to new lifestyles and starting a family will add even more stress to an already overwhelming situation. With immense pressure from their families and communities to make the marriages work, the arranged couples must learn to overcome relationship hurdles to succeed.
