Rahul reached out to Priyanka on Shaadi.com. In his introductory message, Rahul highlighted his substantial salary of Rs 70 lakhs per annum and expressed optimism about their compatibility.
«Hello, I'm Rahul, a software engineer from Bangalore. I came across your daughter's profile on Shaadi.com. Currently earning 70LPA CTC, I believe we would get along well,» he wrote.
Priyanka's father responded, suggesting they discuss further after a cricket match.
«Hello, thank you! I'm Priyanka's father. Let's talk after the match,» replied the father.
The screenshot of this exchange, shared by Rahul's cousin Naina on social media platform X, quickly went viral, accumulating over half a million views within hours. Netizens found humor in the situation, with one commenter remarking, «Uncle knows his priorities. Let's talk after India defeats England,» referring to India's victory over England by 68 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final.
«Uncle's got his priorities straight,» echoed another user, while a third quipped, «Weddings will keep happening, but the match shouldn't be interrupted.»
Meanwhile, India and South Africa will clash in the T20 World Cup final at Kensington Oval, Barbados tonight. It seems likely that Rahul and Priyanka's marriage discussions will resume only after the thrilling final concludes and a champion is crowned.
