Situationships, Benching And Parents In The Room: Shilpa Shetty To Host “Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker,” A New Relationship Reality Show
Shilpa Shetty will host Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker, India’s first relationship clarity show, where parents give couples a reality check. Streaming on JioHotstar.
JioHotstar and Colors have announced a new reality format that places relationships, and families, at its centre. According to the makers, “Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker” brings together couples who are at a crossroads, whether struggling with commitment or stuck in long-term partnerships that have not progressed. Inside one house, participants must answer the questions they have been dodging, until “the moment of clarity arrives.” Shilpa Shetty will host.
What Shilpa Said
Shilpa said relationships now come with a whole new vocabulary, from situationships and breadcrumbing to benching, and that clarity has been lost along the way. She said there comes a point, in a new relationship or an old one, when one has to ask the right questions, and that the show’s new take on the reality format excites her most. She called it a show that gets people to say what they actually mean. She also described it as India’s first relationship show where parents give the “reality check,” which she said makes it interesting for couples and curious parents alike.
The Format
Parents will not be bystanders. Reports say the show includes segments titled “Jodo Ya Todo” and “Clarity Ki Seeti,” in which parents share their perspectives. Couples can share their relationship journeys, and parents can nominate children facing challenges in moving forward, through the show’s website. Casting is open.
