Bollywood will have you believe that finding love is all blooming roses and string quartets. We often take those roses and string instruments as the perfect recipe for a happily ever after. But is that all it takes to make a good marriage, a solid partnership that will withstand the test of time?

In this conversation with cartoonist and entrepreneur, Sameera Maruvada, we talk about “How to find your husband?”

No, this is not the podcast your mom wants you to hear so that you will finally see the photos of the nice boys she has shortlisted for you!

But if you do think that marriage is something you want from life, you should listen to this anyway – because here, we will talk here about some all-important questions to ask our prospective partners that Bollywood romances forgot to teach us about.
