New Delhi: After airing on BBC in the UK and Ireland, Mira Nair’s A Suitable Boy is finally releasing on Netflix. The global streaming giant announced the date for its upcoming series recently.
A Suitable Boy is based on Vikram Seth’s bestselling book of the same name.
The compelling series traces the journey of Lata, a passionate literature student, and her meddling mother’s wish to choose her a husband.
