“When Bill Gates got a divorce, someone put up a meme that Sima Taparia and Bill Gates matching. The number of memes made on my show hasn't been made for any other show. Meme makes the person popular and I enjoy watching them as well. It makes you wonder how creative people are.”
Going further in the conversation, Sima Taparia also shared her views on divorce. Taking a dig at the highly educated girls for high divorce rates, she stated:
“Divorces happen because there is no patience at all. People are divorcing because there is no patience, no adjustment, egoism. Ladkiya itna padh likh leti hain toh they say why should I listen to anybody. Those whom I have matched haven’t taken a divorce yet. But if it happens, it will be because they don’t have the patience, flexibility, no willingness to adjust, and have ego. That’s how problems are created. They don’t have the values of giving, sharing, and caring. You need to adjust a bit, compromise a bit and have patience. We do it in every other sphere, so why not here (in marriage)?"

“There is a very influential family in the South, their son is very dark. In the south, people are generally dark. His mom’s criteria list was very long. But thankfully they found the girl they were looking for. Not many people have such criteria but who doesn’t want a beautiful daughter-in-law?”
