Inspired by their childhood relationships with the Family Karma cast, these not-yet-an-auntie ladies ask provocative questions about the Indian culture and share personal stories, all while carefully walking the line between silly and sophisticated.

In the Indian culture, older generations often disagree with younger ones on the purpose of marriage: though tradition prioritized security and stability, today, we 'young folk' advocate for compatibility and chemistry as the keys to wedded bliss. The Chit Chaat ladies both defend and reject the traditional Hindu custom of arranged marriages. Are old-school biodatas and dating app profiles the exact same thing? Should we grow in love in a marriage, or fall in love before lifelong commitment? Their unique experiences with marriage reveal some surprising insights.
