Like many other young men and women, Bengaluru resident Karishma Walia was under pressure from her family to get married. But, as it turned out, she wasn’t just going to agree to everything prospective grooms asked for.
As her family wished, she began talking to a particular man who eventually asked her to choose between him and her dog, Lucy. Karishma told him she would stick with Lucy.
Karishma told Buzzfeed that her family thinks her decision was wrong because her mother considered him to be a perfect match for her.

And he still wouldn't give up! After telling her to marry the dog instead, he tried to get her to reconsider. He would also say things like family should be priority instead of career. Karishma realised he was trying to impose his expectations on her but when he started commenting on Lucy, she'd had enough of it and gave him up for good.
Incidentally, Karishma's bio on Facebook reads "For my dog, I am the one. And that's all that matters."
Clearly, this guy messed with the wrong girl!
