Matchmaker Drops Client Seeking Husband Earning Over 1 Crore Amid Rejected Matches
An Indian matchmaker, Oendrila Kapoor, shared that she removed a 28-year-old Brahmin woman from her service after the client and her family repeatedly rejected suitable matches. Initially seeking an educated man with a decent job, the family later revealed a preference for Bengali Brahmin men earning over 1 crore annually. Despite the woman's 11 lakh per annum income, none of the proposed matches were accepted, which Kapoor attributed to perceived unrealistic expectations.
