The 30-year-old works with pharmaceutical companies to get their drugs approved, makes a lot of money and no financial debt. She also revealed that she wanted to share her "cool life" with someone and didn't want to make sacrifices just because she would have "aged out."

Did Viral find love on Indian Matchmaking Season 2?

As she reeled from the extensive checklist, Taparia explained that the criteria cannot be a 100% fulfilled and that she could only get proposals that were a 60-70% match. However, Viral was concerned about chemistry between her and her partner if the checklist wasn't fulfilled completely.

Initially, she was given two proposals - Viral Kothari and Jaymin Mehta. Although she was skeptical of her partner having the same name as hers, the Indian Matchmaking star thought of giving the former a chance. The duo bonded on food, culture and many other aspects but she felt that they weren't on the same page.

Next, Viral met up with Jaymin, who she felt looked much different than his picture on the biodata. The duo spent time gokarting and bonding over culture and career aspirations, but as soon as she brought up her issue with the picture, he seemed offended. Although the two ended on a good note, she wasn't sold on either of the proposals.

She even conveyed the same to the Indian Matchmaking host, who called her superficial for having too many demands. However, Sima brought out her third proposal in a suitor called Aashay, which was the start of Viral's journey.

The duo bonded over their careers and culture. Aashay was a doctor of Optometry and was fluent in Gujarati. He also valued his family a lot, having sent him to New York to attend school at the age of 12. Aashay ultimately checked many of Viral's checklists and she decided to pursue him.

Throughout the course of the season, the couple bonded over festivals, outdoor activities, books, face-readers and psychics, among many others. It was an instant spark, which led to both finding each other attractive and comfortable at the same time.

By the end of the season, the couple decided to give their relationship a chance and make long-distance work.

The eight episodes closely follow the Indian Matchmaking cast members' dating journeys as they navigate proposals and find the one that's best suited for them. While complicated dynamics have some of them struggling to find The One for themselves, others strike the perfect chord with their partners.

Indian Matchmaking Season 2 episodes are currently available to binge on Netflix.
