The Truth About Indian Weddings - PART 2 | That's Just How We Talk

Welcome to Episode 8 - PART 2 of That's Just How We Talk! Writer-comedian Gursimran Khamba and actor-creator Ismeet Kohli dive into the beautifully messy bits of Indian weddings and marriages. From splitting time 50–50 with both sets of parents to the unglam side of “shaadi expenses,” we get real about how couples in India can set fair rules before marriage. We unpack pre-marital therapy, joint vs separate finances, personal spending without judgment, and why financial independence matters. We also talk boundaries with in-laws, what to call each other’s parents, cultural expectations, and treating marriage like a living, negotiable contract. Expect honest stories, a few teary laughs, and practical takeaways you can use with your partner. If you’re engaged, newly married, or figuring out how to make love and logistics work in an Indian family setup, this episode is for you.
