Actor
Shilpa
Shetty,
who
is
making
her
digital
foray
as
a
host
with
Amazon
Prime
Video's
"Hear
Me,
Love
Me",
says
through
the
blind
dating
reality
show,
she
wants
women
to
know
what
they
don't
want
in
a
man.
The
42-year-old
actor
believes
digital
is
the
future
and
already
has
a
huge
connect
with
a
young
audience.
"I
don't
know
how
many
women
will
find
their
true
love
or
a
soulmate
but
as
a
mentor
to
them
on
the
show,
my
major
focus
has
been
on
helping
them
find
out
at
least
what
they
don't
want
in
a
man," Shilpa
toldPTI
in
an
interview.
The
series,
produced
by
FreemantleMedia
India,
takes
a
single
young
woman
looking
for
love
and
sets
her
up
on
three
dates
in
a
single
day
but
the
catch
is
that
she
is
not
allowed
to
see
what
her
dates
look
like.
The
suitors
will
wear
a
mini
camera
on
their
chest
and
share
about
their
lives
-
without
revealing
their
faces,
eliminating
looks
as
the
deciding
factor.
"The
real
problem
with
modern
day
relationships
is
that
people
don't
want
to
listen
to
each
other.
That's
why
the
name
of
the
show
is
'Hear
Me,
Love
Me' not
'see
me,
love
me'.
I
believe
love
is
all
about
destiny.
"I
am
a
firm
believer
of
this
philosophy.
I
don't
know
whether
the
dates
will
graduate
into
a
relationship
or
a
marriage
but
I
do
hope
that
this
show
helps
them
a
chance
to
know
themselves
a
bit
better."
Shilpa
said
the
show
will
also
involve
the
family
members
of
the
suitors
vying
to
court
the
woman
to
avoid
unnecessary
obstacles
in
a
potential
relationship.
Matchmaking
through
the
media
of
showbiz
is
not
a
new
concept
in
India
with
television
shows
on
engagement
and
marriage.
In
the
US,
"The
Bachelor"
has
become
a
massive
franchise
on
its
promise
of
finding
one's
soulmate.
When
asked
how
the
new
show
will
be
different,
Shilpa
said,
"First
of
all,
the
show
is
on
a
digital
platform,
making
it
more
accessible
for
the
youth
who
is
always
on
the
go.
Also,
I
feel
people
have
stopped
believing
in
love
and
its
power.
The
main
reason
of
doing
this
show
was
to
do
my
bit
in
helping
someone
believe
back
in
the
concept.
