In which we look to the past and present for insights into Aria's relationship with her parents, and deep dive into the secret double life of the Indian girl. In 1999, we get ready for a high school dance with Aria and Hayleigh, dressing in pastels and neons, and wearing make-up and butterfly clips for prom. Then flash forward to present day where Aria goes home to tell her parents, for the very first time, that she likes a boy. Yes, at the age of 29, Aria is dating. Will her parents be cool about it or will they get her arranged married to an Indian man before she can say, "We're going out, out"? Find out in the latest episode of No Dating Till You're Married, an audiobook podcast.
Gilmore Girls meets Crazy Rich Asians in this rom-com, family dramady.
Check out our Instagram for a throwback millennial playlist, featuring songs from bollywood and hollywood, threaded throughout that, like millennial angst, pairs nicely with our story so far.
