Tinder is a popular online dating app that allows individuals to connect with others based on their location and mutual interest. It offers a range of features including chat and video call options, stickers, etc. Apart from cool in-app features, Tinder has brainstormed an amazing initiative called Swipe Ride, where Kusha Kapila, the host of the series, drives a Tinder user to their date along with a celebrity guest. Bollywood stars such as Tamannaah, Sara Ali Khan, Sonam Bajwa and many others have hopped in the car. Through fun banter, interactive games and lots of giggles, the series walks into its third season. This new season is extra special as Tinder has partnered with JioCinemas, to stream the newest season.
Tinder Swipe Ride is an creative hitch a ride concept where the host of the show, Kusha Kapila picks up a Tinder user to drop her to meet their soulmate (hopefully) while talking about all things love, romance and relationships. Along with Kusha and the Tinder user, there is a celebrity guest who joins them on the ride to add her pearls of wisdom as well as pearls of laughter. The guests are usually Millennials or GenZ actors who are familiar with the dating scene in India and offer solace to the anxious Tinder user.
The ride is one where 3 girls are comforting each other against the world while being true to themselves. These women believe in calling their own shots and making their own choices both in personal and professional spheres. Kusha and the celebrity guests act as hype women to the Tinder user and help her make the right choices.
Kusha Kapila is the perfect host to the series. She being herself, delivers the most hilarious jokes, cracks pjs that are so bad that they end up being good and embraces vulnerability and honesty with grace. Kusha creates a safe safe where the guest can be their truest selves without fearing any kind of judgement. No doubt, she has successfully completed two seasons of the series and has entered the third season.
Season 3 of Swipe Ride has premiered on Friday, 7th July, 2023. Like the previous two seasons the show will be aired on Tinder’s YouTube channel. However, starting this season the show will also be streaming on JioCinemas for the first time ever. Swipe Ride is co-created by Debbie Roa along with writer Supriya Joshi.
The new season kickstarted with Uorfi Javed as the celebrity guest. While Kusha and Uorfi join together to brighten the spirits of Heeral, as she took the ride to meet her Tinder date. In this episode, the women spoke particularly about self care and self-confidence and how it is important for a healthy dating scene. As Heeral embarks on this dating- thing for the first time, Uorfi helps her understand that it does not have to be about “the one” but preparing oneself for every kind of situation.
The show witnessed the Uorfication of dating where Uorfi expressed her opinions vocally with utmost courage. She spoke on how it is important to be true to oneself and only then can one build an authentic relationship. From normalising female pleasure to exploring the ideas around body positivity, the entire episode was a wholesome one.
Swipe Ride is an exciting and one of a kind series that talks about the Indian dating culture especially for women. Instead of going with age-old concepts and stereotypes that women are usually subjected to, the series talks about the needs and lifestyle of modern women. Swipe Ride facilitates open and meaningful conversations around the Indian dating culture. While the show is great, the facilitator is even better. Content creator Kusha Kapila bring her energetic self to the car. Her experiences and opinions are so relatable, that it will get you hooked to the show.
