 "Television actor Nausheen Ali Sardar reveals Netflix's 'Indian Matchmaking' fame Sima Taparia rejected her for her religion: 'I was born a Muslim and...'")
Television actor Nausheen Ali Sardar in an interview with Siddharth Kanan, slammed Netflix’s ‘Indian Matchmaking’ fame Sima Taparia for rejecting her due to her religion.
The actress revealed, “So basically, my sister approached her because her show was a hit. I think this was during COVID. My sister told me, ‘The way you’re going about finding a life partner is not right. At least let us help you.’ So I said, ‘Go ahead, I don’t have a problem.”
She added, “If I like someone, I’ll settle down.’ Then she saw this show and said, ‘Let’s confront her now.’ My problem is that I was born Muslim, but I don’t follow Islam. So ‘what exactly is the right match for me?’ The girl asked me and I said I want to marry a Catholic, or a Sikh, or a Punjabi—that’s my preference.”
Sardar added, “She was like, ‘No, we can’t find you someone because you’re Muslim.” She said that. I used to laugh at her character, because according to her, a girl should always stay quiet, and a girl should always keep her eyes down. The way her on-screen character was, it felt like a real-life version. I found it so funny. I told her, ‘Look at this, she’s telling me she can’t find me someone because of religion.’"
Sima Taparia on divorce rates
Sima Taparia , known for her controversial comments, has often been targeted for her contentious remarks and problematic perspectives in the past. While demonstrating the same in a recent interview, the OTT star engaged in discussions on various subjects including ‘divorce’, where she branded people seeking separation as ’egoistic’ and lacking patience.
She further stated, “Those I have matched haven’t divorced yet. But if it happens, it is because they lack patience, flexibility, are egoistic, and don’t want to adjust. That’s how problems are created. They lack values of giving, sharing and caring.”
On highly educated women
Sima Taparia went on to criticise the ‘highly educated and independent women’ for refusing to conform to others’ expectations. She continued that people are getting separated “because there is no patience, no adjustment, egoism, ladkiya itna padh likh lete hai toh they say why should I listen to anybody (Highly educated girls don’t listen to anybody)”.
