“We didn’t see it that way. We felt like our parents (married through this ‘desi’ system) were the happiest people we knew,” Geeta said. “We were kind of torn because we wanted that happiness, but we didn’t know what process was really good for us to get there.” The conversion of the home video into a documentary “just happened by accident,” said Ravi. “It was just kind of natural evolution” with “Mom and Dad breathing down our necks as if a billion people in India care as much as they do about why we are not married.”

But despite some shaky camera work, they never thought of reshooting the film. “The documentary is so authentic and real, what happened at the moment,” according to them. “The only stuff that we put a lot of effort into was in producing animated moments,” said Ravi. “The animation came essentially from the fact that we were making this film about our family,” added Geeta.”In reality TV, when somebody is emotional, they just film it. But for us it’s just disrespectful to film our family going through a very difficult moment.”

But how come their parents did not appear camera conscious at all. “I know that’s crazy, right. It was so natural,” said Ravi. “Part of it is that they never thought this project would really amount to anything - partially because of the casual way we were shooting it.”

The brother and sister team spent six years in making the film and at the end of it “nobody wanted it.” What kept them going was “Pride,” said Ravi. “I believed in it. Even if no body watches it, I am going to be proud that I made something I like and that mattered to me.” Geeta chipped in with, “we both believed in it.”
