The hilarious part of the ad that grabbed the eyeballs of netizens was the ending part that read, "No farters/burpers plz. Write to [email protected]".

The advertisement caught the attention of the public after it was put up on a Twitter handle Toolkit for Hot Takes with the caption, ' did someone put out a matrimonial ad for me." Richa Chadha replied to it by saying, 'someone out there is waiting for you."

Many speculated that the identity of those behind the ad and whether it was an authentic one. BBC said it turned out it was a prank between a brother and sister and her best friend. Using the email ID, BBC tracked down the lady, Sakshi and her Srijan and her best friend, Damayanti who came up with the idea.

All the names given above are pseudonyms and Sakshi said that we are all professionals with steady careers, and (hopefully) promising lives ahead of us" and don't want to attract "bloodthirsty" social media trolls, the BBC reported.

Srijan told BBC that it was a small prank we played for Sakshi's 30th birthday.

"Turning 30 is a milestone, especially because of all the conversation in our society around marriage. As you turn 30, your family and society start putting pressure on you to get married and settle down," he was quoted as saying by the BBC.
