‘Marriages not made in Heaven’ is set in Delhi and is a generic tongue in cheek reflection on upper middle class Delhi households. The story revolves around the Chopras. Mrs. Nita Chopra’s sole ambition in life is for her three daughters to be settled in happy matrimony, preferably in rich households. With no help from her husband, Anand, she goes about securing suitable grooms for each of her daughters. Her eldest daughter Payal, who is more interested in running her own business than being someone's wife, sees marriage as her ticket to pursue her dreams. Simran, the middle one, is courting a fellow doctor with the fond hope of fleeing the country (and her family). Nisha, the youngest, the apple of Mrs. Chopra's eye, is betting big on marrying an extraordinary man (unlike her older sisters). Will all their plans fructify. Or does life come in the way? This desi version of pride and prejudice is a witty narration of South Delhi life.
