Her previous interview statements, in which she called educated women egoistic and the cause of increased divorces, elicited a similar reaction from netizens.

Sima informed Siddhaarth Aalambayan during the conversation that those who desire divorce are egoistic. She stated that the individuals she matched with had not considered divorce, but "if it happened, it is because they don’t have patience, flexibility, no willingness to adjust and have egoism."

She went on to say that educated women who refuse to adapt are the ones that generate difficulties. "That’s how problems are created. They don’t have the values of giving, sharing, and caring."

The matchmaker further stated that educated women do not listen to anyone and cannot adhere to others' expectations. "People are divorcing because there is no patience, no adjustment, egoism, ladkiya itana padh likh lete hai toh they say why should I listen to anybody? (Highly educated girls don’t listen to anybody)," she remarked.

She went on to say that when a flight is delayed, you just wait, and one must have the same patience at home. When the interviewer responded that the same should be true for males, Sima emphasized that she meant both men and women.

During the interview, she also stated that women should not be overly ambitious because it is difficult to realize a woman's aspirations. She did, however, clarify that she had always been one. She also disclosed that she married at the age of 19 in 1983.

If you see the documentary she herself was in, it shows how her own daughter suffered the patriarchy. she has milked it well but no mental growth . Oblivious." One even went as far as to call her having "BOOMER ENERGY!!!" Another person chimed in, "Male feminist reverse uno."

Sima also mentioned in the interview that she picks and chooses her matching clientele.

"I do a lot of matchmaking for desis abroad, I get a lot of calls from people in the US. I don’t do matchmaking for Christians, Parsis, and Muslims. But I choose and pick because I can’t do it for everybody. Jiska package aacha ho mereko usee type ka aaega na toh mein usse type ka match karti hu (I usually do matchmaking for clients who have good salary packages, because I only have those types of clients)."
