Rahul, a 28-year-old software engineer from Bengaluru, found himself in an unexpected situation when he messaged Priyanka on Shaadi.com.
In his introductory message, he made sure to mention his impressive salary of ₹70 lakhs per annum, ending optimistically with “I believe we’d be very compatible.”
Instead of hearing back from Priyanka, Rahul received a reply from Priyanka’s father.
The response? “Hello, thanks! I’m Priyanka’s dad. Match ke baad baat karte hain (Let’s talk after the match).”
The match in question wasn’t just any match—it was the India vs England semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024.
India emerged victorious, adding to the amusement of those who saw the screenshot shared by Rahul’s cousin, Naina, on social media.
The post quickly went viral, garnering over half a million views in less than a day.
Commenters couldn’t help but chuckle at the father’s straightforward priorities.
“Uncle had his priorities clear. England ko haraane ke baad baat karenge (We’ll talk after India beats England),” joked one viewer.
Others chimed in with similar sentiments: “Uncle’s got priorities,” and “Shaadi toh hoti rahegi match nahi rukna chahiye (Weddings will keep happening, nothing should interrupt the match).”
As India advances to the T20 World Cup final against South Africa, Rahul and Priyanka’s rishta discussions will understandably wait until after the thrilling final concludes.
The incident serves as a humorous reminder that even in matters as important as finding a life partner, cricket can sometimes take precedence.
