Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty will host “Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker,” a reality series that pushes couples in stalled or undefined relationships to decide their future, for streamer JioHotstar and Hindi-language channel Colors.
\n\nThe show is being billed by the two JioStar-owned outlets as India’s first “relationship clarity show.”
\n\nParticipants will range from couples in early, label-free arrangements to long-term partners who have never taken the next step. They will live together in a single house and be confronted with the questions they have been sidestepping, while their parents are brought in to give them a blunt assessment. Each pairing is pushed toward a clear answer, summed up in the show’s defining call, “Jodo Ya Todo,” Hindi for “Pair or Break.”
\n\nThe title plays on the kitchen staple. A pressure cooker whistle, dubbed the “Clarity Ki Seeti” (“clarity whistle”), is the show’s signature sound cue and goes off whenever a participant finally comes clean.
\n\n“Relationships today come with a whole new vocabulary, from situationships and breadcrumbing to benching, and somewhere along the way, clarity got lost,” Shetty said. “Whether it’s a new or a long-term relationship stuck for years, there comes a point when someone has to ask the real questions.
