Indian Matchmaking is set to return to screens with another season this week. The upcoming installment will feature some new stories and new chapters in pre-existing ones. In the previous season, Sima Aunty found a match for Viral Joshi, and in the upcoming episodes, viewers will see her relationship with Aashray Shah move forward.
Viral’s criteria for an ideal match included someone who was self-made, wouldn’t be intimidated by her success, and someone from Gujarat who could speak the same language as her family. Her other requirements included non-smoker, non-partier, intelligent, athletic, likes to read, and preferably an only child, like her.
During season 2, the upcoming Indian Matchmaking season 3 cast member went on a date with several men, one of whom was also named Viral. He traveled to North Carolina from New York for their first date which took place in a furniture store.
This was followed by her date with Jaymin from Connecticut. Viral felt taken aback during her date as she thought that he used an older photo in his dating portfolio. The two went go-karting and hit it off better than the two Virals.

The two went on a tock-climbing date and Aashray even met Viral Joshi’s parents. Following their date in Durham, Viral made her way to New York to visit him. The two eventually admitted to liking each other and are set to appear in the upcoming season of the unique Netflix show.
Other cast members to join Viral Joshi and Aashray Shah in season three includes Bobby Seagull, Priya Ashra, Shital Patel, Niraj Mehta, Arti Lalwani, and Shekar Jayaraman.
