A question to my fellow Punjabis - what is your parents' reaction to this story?

I told this story in detail to my mom/aunts (all of whom are the same generation as Kirat's parents). Note: these are all old-school Punjabi women. Like old school "get married by 30 or your life is over" types.

Some of them had actually seen the Netflix documentary already. So anyways I told them in full detail with everything that Kirat said in the podcast. I literally drew them a visual timeline and interjected what happened with what Kirat said about her emotional reaction to things.

At the end of it, every single one of them thought Kirat was an idiot and a loser. Everyone was shocked at her being strung along for YEARS by a man who she never properly met. They were laughing at how ridiculous the story was, especially when I said "they never Facetimed they only did voice chats/phone calls". They said they would never support their daughters online dating a guy for even 6 months without properly meeting face-to-face.

They spent like 3 straight minutes clowning Kirat. When I asked them what they thought about Simran, there was surprisingly little they had to say. Just "that's crazy" and "why would she do that?" but they kind of skimmed right past that and straight back to "how did she (Kirat) ever believe that??"

I just wanted to post this because I know some users (who are not Punjabi) think that Punjabi parents are SO eager to have their daughter marry a doctor that they'd be cool with years of dating without (1) a proposal (2) even meeting face-to-face. Nah. They definitely want their daughters to marry doctors, but this story was just toooooo much.
