Rishta Stories

We’ve all heard the stories. The awkward introductions. The wildly specific demands. The aunties with FBI-level background checks. The rishtas that somehow went from “just meeting” to “so, when’s the wedding?” in 10 minutes. In this episode, we’re sharing our worst rishta stories. The funniest, most awkward, most unhinged experiences from the world of South Asian matchmaking. From disastrous first meetings to family red flags and proposals that should’ve been rejected on sight, nothing is off limits. Grab a chai and get ready to cringe, laugh, and thank God that it wasn’t you. ☕😭 0:00 INTRO 1:37 Not a winter 3:29 Coffee shops 6:40 Sweet treats 14:00 Solids 16:25 The doll 21:40 The rishta story 33:58 The Minnie Mouse backpack 34:37 No utensils 35:04 The Catfish 35:52 Tauba 37:32 Second marriage 40:21 Tatted 41:15 Don’t talk
