In my case, they're probably,

texting me in the middle of it.

And then you're waiting to find out

whether you get a second date,

not from her but from Mom and Dad.

From Mom and Dad.

It's like, it's like exactly the

relationship I have with my acting agents.

Like they'll call me up and be like...

My prince, my prince,

darling, baby, good news.

Talked to Seema's parents,

looks like they want to

bring you in for a callback!

Vasant, coffee!

So here's the deal, it's

going to be Friday night,

you're going to take her to Chinese.

Now listen, they love

you. Don't do anything new.

Same stuff.

Nothing tricky,

we're hearing it's between

you and two guys named Raj.

All right? Oh and, hey, Ravi, good luck,

don't blow it. Hit the girls.

- So the next stop was Dad's village.

- Right...

There's literally a pile

of crap everywhere you go,

they need to figure out how

to potty-train the cows, right?

Dad's village is like

the belly of the beast.

Right, cause we are

related to everybody.

Yeah, and they all immediately

had one question...

Imagine the most annoying

person in your family,

who's kinda always in your business,

asking all sorts of questions

and you're trying to just

get out of the situation.

Now imagine an entire village

filled with that person.

Like in The Matrix,

is, like, multiplying

over and over again.

Dad's one of the most

respected people I know,

but Mom might be an even bigger deal

because she is known

as a matchmaker.

So it's a huge failure in Mom's eyes

that her own kids aren't married,

and she's the best in the business.

December's actually

wedding season in India,

meaning Indians from

all over the world

come to India, not just

to meet each other, but...

- To marry... Yeah.

- To marry each other.

Everyone except for us.

No.

No.

Wow!

When too many people like us

are telling you that, my

prince, this thing works,

at least you need to close

your eyes, one day, for 24 hours

and think, all these

people are telling you.

And think that there could be some truth.

The whole world cannot be wrong.

Yeah, the whole world

cannot be wrong, my prince.

I remember sitting there, and I'm

looking at Mom and Dad on stage

and, you know, this charity,

that... And this whole event

which is put on just

because of their own efforts

and, you know, it reminded me

just how much I love our family

and how much I love our culture.

Where we're from.

Yeah, you know, when I have kids,

I kinda wanted them to

have the same feeling,

the same experience.

And grow up the way we did.

Yeah, and go on trips

like, like these.

Yeah.

And that's when it all

became clear to me that,
