Mumbai’s top matchmaker Sima Taparia’s fame is no longer restricted to the city alone. Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking has made her into a global phenomenon. Fans from all over the world want Taparia to find them or their loved ones a match, and obviously, want to know her charges for the same. While some say that Taparia charges a fee depending on the wedding budget, Rupam, a participant from Indian Matchmaking is revealing how much she paid for her services.
Indian Matchmaking’s premise about Indian arranged marriages got everyone talking. It's no wonder that even weeks after its Netflix release, the memes are still being made and theories are still being shared. But the one person who takes the lion’s share in all of the Indian Matchmaking trending topics is the matchmaker Sima Taparia. Almost anyone who’s watched the show wanted to know how much Taparia charges to find her clients a “Suitable Rishta.” Maybe it was just out of curiosity or people genuinely wanting to hire Taparia, a quick Google search throws up multiple websites trying to deduce a figure for her fees. Considering how high her charges may be, it would have been logical to assume that her clients on the reality show also paid her a similar amount. But as more Indian Matchmaking participants speak out about auditioning for the dating show, Rupam Kaur has shared how much she paid Taparia to find her a match.
Rupam Kaur was introduced on Indian Matchmaking as a divorced single mother who according to Taparia had very slim chances of getting remarried. “Your options are very less,” said Taparia to Rupam, who eventually ended up finding a man from the dating app Bumble instead. In a recent interview with Zarna Garg, Rupam has revealed a lot of shocking things about Indian Matchmaking. Dr. Rupam is a physician which strangely wasn’t a part of the reality dating show. She spoke about being in a happy relationship with the gentleman she met on Bumble, who also happens to be a Sikh like her. She shared her journey about going through “lots of different stages of interviewing” for the Netflix show and also confessed to disagreeing about Taparia’s views on divorced women wanting to remarry.
But Rupam’s revelation about how much she paid Taparia on Indian Matchmaking comes as the real surprise. During the Instagram LIVE, when a fan asked Rupam how much the matchmaker charges, she said, “I don’t know what she charges as it was covered by Netflix.” The doctor conveyed her gratitude to the team by saying, “Thanks Netflix,” before clarifying “I don’t know what she charges at all.”
Considering Rupam didn’t find a match though Taparia, it would make sense for the Indian Matchmaking star to have not charged her any fees for her services. But also keeping in mind that the participants auditioned to be on the Netflix show while not being actual clients of Taparia, them not paying any fees also seems valid. As Indian Matchmaking fans continue doing the guesswork regarding Taparia’s fees, they can be rest assured that there’s certainly been a hike in her usual amount post her breakout stardom.
All episodes of Indian Matchmaking are now available to stream on Netflix.
