Bengaluru Techie with ₹70 LPA Salary Gets Hilarious Reply from Cricket-Loving Father on Shaadi.com

A 28-year-old software engineer from Bengaluru, Rahul, reached out to Priyanka on Shaadi.com, hoping to find a life partner. However, what happened next left the internet in splits.

Rahul messaged Priyanka, mentioning his impressive annual salary of ₹70 lakhs and expressing that they would be compatible.

Here’s what he wrote: “Hello, I’m Rahul, software engineer from Bangalore. Saw your daughter’s profile on Shaadi.com. Currently at 70LPA CTC and I believe we’d be very compatible.”

The response he received was unexpected. Priyanka’s father replied, “Hello, thanks! I’m Priyanka’s dad. Match ke baad baat karte hain (Let’s talk after the match).”

Rahul’s cousin, Naina, shared a screenshot of this exchange on X (formerly Twitter), where it quickly went viral, garnering over half a million views. Commenters found the father’s dedication to the cricket match amusing. One user noted, “Uncle had his priorities clear. England ko haraane ke baad baat karenge (Talking can happen after India beats England),” referring to the India vs England semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024, which India won by 68 runs.

Other comments included, “Uncle’s got priorities,” and “Shaadi toh hoti rahegi match nahi rukna chahiye (Weddings will keep happening, nothing should interrupt the match).”

As India and South Africa prepare for the T20 World Cup final at Kensington Oval, Barbados, it’s safe to assume that discussions about Rahul and Priyanka’s match will only continue after the cricket final.
