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.

Get ready to finally feel seen and experience healing! 100% Made in India. Produced by Vaaka Media and iHeartPodcasts.

Radhika finally admits: that while the system was failing her, she wasn’t exactly doing it any favours either. And that didn’t put her at the top of the food chain, desirability-wise. But there is someone at the top! Everyone wants them, they get to pick the best of the lot, and when everyone’s a little bit in love with you, love starts to play out a little differently?
