Many desi aunties are pain in the ass. For the ones, who have faced any kind of rejection in rishtey-waali meetings, will surely relate to this. 2 States is one filmy example that I can think of right now. In the movie, Alia Bhatt’s character Ananya and her family was judged by Arjun Kapoor’s on-screen Punjabi mom Amrita Singh ‘coz they were Tamilians. “Ye toh madrassi hain”, remember? Well, 2 States truly mirrored the reality of how desi aunties act in such situations and end up rejecting the choices of their sons/daughters as they do not fit into their criteria.

So, a viral story of how one desi aunty rejected a pilot’s marriage proposal for her daughter recently caught my attention on Twitter. And she called him a “driver”. I mean, WTF!
This aunty rejected rishta of a pilot for her daughter saying, “chahe jahaz ka hi hai, Hai tu driver hi na”

And then I noticed that many Twitterati are sharing their rejection stories of rishtas on the micro-blogging platform. Let’s check’em out:
1. For being differently-abled
I have a sister with a physical disability and this aunty had the audacity to tell my mom that “Mera beta apki “aisi” beti ki responsibility nahi le ga future mai, na hi nosheen le gi. ab apka koi beta nahi hai to ye pehle clear hojana chaiye (sic).

2: For not matching with “chaand-si bahu” image
Just got off a call with a friend who has been crying since noon because some Aunty who had been to her house for like 3 times to have meals finally rejected her because she didn’t match her “Chand Si Bahu” image. This is despite the fact that the guy approved of her.

3. For age difference
This aunty rejected this rishta cause there was a 10 year age difference, anyways the aunty said ‘Allah apkay betay ko achi larki day’ to which she replied ‘Mera beta bohat acha hai, Allah apki beti ko us jaisa koi day’

4. For not having fair complexion, long tresses, and “perfect figure”

Have you been through such WTF rishta meetings where desi aunties judged you for how you look, for your choices, or for the fact that your mom doesn’t fit into their criteria? Aunty ji thoda chill karo na? Pasand nahin bhi aaye toh fine but at least stop being judgemental, yeah?

And for the one who rejected a girl ‘coz she owns a dog, I mean, c’mon! Janta maaf nahin karegi aapko!
