A man is said to have shelled out a staggering Rs 3 lakh “fee” to an agency to exclusively receive marriage proposals for his daughter from families with a turnover exceeding Rs 200 crore. The extravagant move, shared on X by user Mishka Rana, who claimed that the man was her friend’s father.
While catering to the curiosity of social media users, Mishka further said in the comments section of the post that her friend is “damn pretty” and her family is rich with a “net worth in crores”.

Her post went crazy viral with over 2 lakh views on X, which triggered hilarious reactions online as curious people asked more questions to get a better clarity of the situation.
One person asked if she got any proposal, to which Mishika said that the family has so far rejected 80+ proposals.
While other sections of the internet shared their opinions about paying such a hefty price in the comments section of the post.
“Makes sense. Gotta pay a premium for high quality leads,” a person said. “Very normal. This fee is a filter to get creme de la creme. The matchmaker’s fee is usually 1-2 per cent of the total expense of the marriage. Example – A wedding costing Rs 1 crore would get the broker Rs 1–2 lakh easily. This is then adjusted with the initial fee paid,” another user said.
“One of the family members did the same. Paid Rs 2.5L for rishta from UHNI. It took six months for the girl to find her soulmate. If I am not wrong, they have been happily married for the last 6 years and have two kids,” another commented.
