    Kalki is every free-spirited Indian woman in new matrimonial ad

    We may be in 2016, but when it comes to people looking for a companion for life, they still end up going back to their regressive ways. The average Indian psyche has been conditioned to want a fair skinned, convent-educated girl to marry or an IIT graduate, tall, dark, handsome man.

    Wouldn’t it be great if we were all given a chance to actually say what we want to in our matrimonial ads? Go brutally honest and present our true selves so we actually find a companion who loves us for who we are and not our ‘imaginary’ selves?

In the ad, that is now being shared widely on social media, like her usual candid self, Kalki, in an honest, witty and straightforward style, rips the hypocrisy of matrimony. Why should someone else get to fix on whom we should or should not love? Why does anybody else get to lay down the boundaries? Growing up, there are some set constraints within which we discover how to live. The kids we should and should not be friends with, the type of people we should and should not hang out with and the kind of person we should and should not fall in love with. The ad questions all of that and more.
