There may soon be more Indians than people of any other nationality on the planet, but not everyone in America is accustomed to the idea. So when late night show host Jimmy Kimmel heard that two of his audience members were set up through an arranged marriage, he was determined to understand this.

Between segments on his show Kimmel glanced at two members in the audience and asked where they were from. “Chicago”, they said. Soon it was revealed that the couple had had an arranged marriage in India.

“What happens if you don’t like who your parents picked for you? How did your parents find the other person?” Kimmel asked the questions that many Indians have been asking for years now. In this case, though, through all the nervous laughter and jokes, the couple patiently answered all the questions.
