Arranged Love in Modern India with Vipin & Bibhuti | S2 Episode 14

Modern Indian love is no longer just “arranged” or “love marriage.” It’s somewhere in between awkward talking stages, family involvement, emotional awareness, and trying not to lose your mind in the process. Vipin Yadav and Bibhuti Bhushan, an IIT-alumni couple with a massive online fandom, join us for a fun, honest conversation about modern Indian relationships. From arranged marriages and gender roles to emotional compatibility and personal freedom, they unpack the layers of what relationships actually look like for young Indians today. Because maybe the biggest shift in modern Indian love isn’t who we marry… but finally getting to ask ourselves why we want marriage in the first place and how we can achieve an equal partnership.
