“Family Karma” is a riveting show that’s definitely worth watching. It’s no wonder viewers love it, as shown by the positive reviews on major entertainment websites. It’s about the lives of a group of young Indian Americans who live and work in Miami. This reality TV series showcases BravoTV’s vision to produce engaging and dramatic shows.
What’s fascinating is that the show talks about something that hasn’t been seen on TV before. Its premise focuses on the lives of several families who provide different insights into what being an Indian means. There’s also a focus on the parents of the young adults since intergenerational dynamics come up a lot. Some parents still believe in traditional values like arranged marriages. The differences between parents’ and children’s beliefs and the aunties’ gossip mill create fun-to-watch drama.
This guide talks about characters in “Family Karma,” its premise, whether Bravo TV will extend it for a new season, and the number of seasons and episodes released since its debut. We also focus on where to watch and why BuddyTV has everything you need to know about your favorite shows.
Main Cast and Characters of “Family Karma”
Bravo’s hit reality show comes with many intriguing characters who add spice to its premise. Children of families who emigrated from India and settled in Miami form the bulk of the main characters.
