Getting your bangle caught on a man’s kurtha or dancing in the rain while wearing a sari are the epitome of desi romance. But what does romance look like for a generation of Desi millennials who are told they can’t date until they’re married? In the last episode of the season, we talk about the Desi Dilemma - being a young South Asian and navigating the dating sphere; from unrealistic expectations and hiding from aunties on dates to the age of dating apps and parental approval. We talk about finding the balance of relationships as college students, considering Bollywood's romanticization of relationships and the simultaneous taboos of love and relationships in many South Asian-American households.
