The tea Bali spilt was very interesting. I always like learning more behind the scenes stuff. So, I guess Monica really wanted to come off as very conservative for the show because I remember them asking about her dating life season 1 and she totally brushed it off and said she wasn't. But looks like she was. My only thing was she trying to figure out things with Brian and Rish...or was the Brian love interest thing just for the show. Brian's mom seemed super offended that Monica said she wasn't interested and Monica's and Brian's interactions seemed to show something more. But I can see how it could be for a storyline, and they just played out their complicated back and forth which Monica said had gone on for years.
Whats happening with Monica and Anisha also reminds me what happened with the Shahs group and Asa. They grew very frustrated that Asa didnt show aspects of her life esp regarding her relationship. It can be frustrating when you are putting things out there and someone else is trying to curate a perfect image or you feel the person's real story is better and more interesting. I mean everyone wants a good show. The other thing is that it could very well be that Rish's family or Rish didn't want to be on the show initially because of the craziness of reality TV. He seems more introverted and more mellow for reality TV. Also could be maybe their relationship was too new or maybe Monica was trying to just date and see what was out there and didnt want to come off a certain way on the show.
Funny thing, I think Anisha's and Monica's feedback to each other (though the deliveries could have been better) actually influenced each other. Anisha had a nice little glow up and went Veg and Monica this season is starting to be more open. I think the Monica storyline with her family dynamics has a lot of potential and the show prob has only just scratched the surface. But culturally I am sure it's hard to be an open book like that so not sure how much she'll show. I do hope they get a season 3.
