Karishma Walia, from New Delhi, was forced
to turn down an arranged marriage proposal
because her potential suitor wasn't a fan of her
dog.
In a Whatsapp conversation posted on Twitter, the
man asked her if she has reached a decision on
his proposal, to which she replies: 'Hey, I thought
we spoke about this. Dog is going to be an
issue... So!'
Karishma, who posts plenty of snaps with her pet
pooch, Lucy, on her social media accounts, spoke
about the incident.
She said: 'My mom thought he’s an excellent
match because he’s good-looking and well-off.
There was a lot of family pressure, and they still
think I did the wrong thing by raising the concern
about my dog.'
She added that the man is still attempting to
tempt her to reconsider her decision, adding: 'He
would say things like "family should be a priority
and not career". I gave up when he commented
about my dog. I don’t know why my family still
thinks he’s an eligible bachelor.'
Karishma has been praised by animal lovers on
Twitter. One user posted her story with the
caption: 'This B'lore girl rejected a guy cuz he
doesn't like dogs & wouldn't want one after
marriage. U go girl!', and another added: 'This is
the kind of stuff I want to read. Good on you,
Karishma Walia, wherever you are in
Twitterverse.'
