Sima Taparia’s ‘Indian Matchmaking’ has again got nominated for Emmys. Sima is currently in Switzerland enjoying family time when this news arrives.
“I was vacationing in Switzerland with my family and had no clue that the nominations were out. The news came to me as a sweet surprise. Everyone is so happy that the show has got global acknowledgment and recognition at the Emmys for the second time. It is a proud moment for me, and for India,” Taparia told in an interview to Hindustan Times.
She added, “We were nominated phele bhi but couldn’t win. We have got another chance to win the Emmy for the whole team who worked hard on it. This time, I am sure that the Emmy will come to India. That being said, leaving winning aside, getting a nomination is also a big deal. We were not disappointed when we didn’t win the Emmy last time. Because we know it is an honour to get a nod as only some shows get picked out of hundreds of the show.”
The reality project has got nominated for the 75th Emmy Awards under the Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program category. The show has to compete with RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked, Selling Sunset, Vanderpump Rules and Welcome To Wrexham in the race. Earlier, Taparia’s show was nominated in the Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program category at the 73rd edition of the awards.
Sima’s happiness can be seen as she adds, “The recognition is an answer to all the people who were saying negative things about the show. If a global body is recognising us, show mein kuch toh hoga na (there will be something about the show)
In the series, Sima guides her clients from US and India in the arrange marriage process.
