THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED - but for a cause close to THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED - but for a cause close to our hearts this time. 💜

➡️ REUNION PART 1: Thursday 6.24 // 8pm EST // US time
➡️ REUNION PART 2: Saturday 6.26 // 12pm EST / 9:30pm IST (India time)

Alongside the cast of Indian Matchmaking, we're teaming up with @projectekta & Delhi Youth Welfare Association to raise funds for smaller, grassroots organizations in India to help with COVID relief. 🙏🏽 Our goal is to raise $10k, and we'll be matching every donation made!! 💰

Over the last 2 months, the world has been gripped by scenes of an apocalyptic Covid surge in India: endless funeral pyres, patients gasping for oxygen, and many of our own friends/families being affected by the pandemic. Unfortunately, the crisis has not yet relented. India continues to report the most daily deaths seen throughout the pandemic (an average of 4000 deaths a day), and they need our help. 💔

Donate (link in bio!) and come join cast members @aparnashewakramani, @nadiajagessar, Vyasar, @shekarjayaraman_, @luvmanisha, @dilip.aidasani, and Indian Matchmaking's producer @smritimundhra THIS Thursday the 24th & Saturday the 26th for an Indian Matchmaking IG live reunion. They may have some updates for you. 😉

The money will go to the following organizations:
- Sanitation Workers Union Ghaziabad
- Sanitation Workers Union Delhi
- Asha Workers Union Punjab
- Human Solidarity Foundation
- Grace Banu
- Punjab Covid Relief

Link to donate is in our bio. Let’s help India together. 💜🇮🇳

Often, we feel the pressure of getting into a relationship or new venture, but we don't feel "ready." But what does that mean? While it's extremely important & necessary to take time to be happy/satisfied with yourself, it's okay if you don't feel like that 100% of the time. We all have our own timelines, and "readiness" is different for everyone. Just keep doing you - everything will fall into place. 💕

Long distance or not, these updates will make connecting with your boo thang even easier. 🥰
When they matched, Asif decided to be direct and j When they matched, Asif decided to be direct and just go for it. He led with, “I normally don’t do long distance, but you were so pretty I had to swipe right.” A few hours later, he got back a simple "Thanks" from Rheya. That's it. 😅
•
Asif wasn’t ready to call it quits and decided to give it another try by recycling one of his tried Dil Mil openers: “So my mom calls your mom - is that how this works?” With some luck, Asif was able to wrangle a "haha" out of her. From there, the two exchanged periodic messages, which then escalated to sending snaps and eventually FaceTiming. 😍

They kept things pretty casual at first and continued living their own separate lives. Asif was still making his rounds in the South Asian dating circuit across the 5 boroughs of NYC, but the more he connected with Rheya, the less interested he became in his NY dates. They continued staying in touch long-distance, until March 2017 when Rheya let Asif know that she was coming to New York next month! 😮🌃
•
Although they met in an interesting way (read more on the blog!), he showed her as many places as he could as a way to pitch her on moving to New York. At one point he even ate 7 hot dogs in front of her, which obviously sealed the deal and is the reason she eventually agreed to be his wife. 🌭😂

Our hearts go out to the family & community member Our hearts go out to the family & community members who have been victims of this hate crime. While we don't always talk about it, Islamophobia is real, even within our own South Asian community. Supporting & respecting all of our diverse cultures is the only way we can stop hate. ♥️
