While Ejaz Khan’s controversial OTT show House Arrest is making headlines for its provocative content, it pales in comparison to what Netflix has been showcasing globally for years. Enter Love Is Blind — the show that doesn’t just break traditional dating norms, it obliterates them.

Streaming on Netflix, Love Is Blind is a social experiment that pushes the boundaries of modern relationships. Here, contestants don’t just go on blind dates — they get engaged, go on honeymoons, live together, and even face marriage proposals, all before ever seeing each other’s faces.

No Faces, Just Voices — Love Begins in Isolation

The show begins by locking single men and women in separate “pods,” where they date each other through voice-only conversations. No phones, no social media, and absolutely no physical contact. In the first few days, each contestant speaks to 10-15 potential partners, narrowing down their choices based purely on emotional connection.

Engagements Without Seeing Each Other

Once someone feels a strong bond, they propose marriage — still without having laid eyes on the other person. Only after a successful proposal are the participants allowed to meet face-to-face — often culminating in a kiss moments after their first in-person glance, all caught on camera.

From First Meeting to Bedroom Cameras

Immediately after meeting, the newly engaged couples are whisked away on a honeymoon-style retreat, where camera crews follow them into their private spaces, including bedrooms. After a week, they return to live in a shared home for 15 days, navigating life as a couple with all its real-world challenges — from mobile phones to meeting families.

Marriage at the End — Or Not

In the final episode, the couples walk down the aisle, where they must answer a simple but life-altering question: Do you take this person as your legally wedded spouse — yes or no?

Some say yes. Many say no. And millions watch every moment.

Bold? Absolutely. But Real?

Love Is Blind has been adapted in countries like the U.S., U.K., Brazil, and Japan, spawning a global franchise. While some couples have remained happily married years later, most pairings have ended in public heartbreak.

Compared to the outrage surrounding House Arrest, Netflix’s Love Is Blind showcases a more elaborate, emotionally risky, and arguably more intrusive format — one that’s not just about voyeurism but about turning emotional intimacy into entertainment.
