I had a profile in Shaadi.com for over a year. Initially I had just opened it to try out the option of online matrimonial and whether really what they hype about is true or not. After a year I thought of searching my soul mate seriously and that�s when I registered as paid member in Shaadi.com. Initially I had a lot of hiccups as it was very difficult to find a proper groom.I was losing hope of finding my soulmate through online matrimony and resort to age old traditional way when I received an interest from someone. I still remember the date, it was 27th December 2013, when I had received an interest from a person residing in Bangalore. Yes it�s none other than the person I am married to today Tushar Bhattacharyya. I was a little apprehensive about it because I am from Kolkata and he stayed in Bangalore. It would be a long distance to cover and leave my family and come to an entirely new environment. I had rejected many profiles if they were not residents of Kolkata. But I don�t know why but there was something positive about him and the innocence in his face attracted me and I left behind my apprehensions and accepted the interest on 31st December 2013. It was from this day we started to chat online around two weeks. In those sessions we found we were very much similar and had almost same set of mindset. Then he told his family and I told mine. My family liked him very much and agreed to my choice. But his family did not like me for a couple of reasons and asked him to stop seeing me. He kept on convincing his family that he would not marry anyone other than me. But they were hell bound on their decision and he on his. This continued for some months and finally everything fell into place and they agreed for the marriage. Our marriage took place on 10th of August 2014 in Kolkata. I thank the Shaadi.com team for their contribution in helping me meet my soul mate who is everything for me in my life. I will recommend Shaadi.com to my friends as it is a genuine site.
