Over 30 years ago Dr. Priya Shah took an oath – No new bride would suffer as she had, and no hapless groom would flounder like her husband had.

This led to her marrying a loving and supportive husband but also brought in a contentious relationship with her in-laws. Eventually, her instinct for good matches and her utmost care in straightening expectations of all parties involved in a marriage led to her earning the mantle of – The Elite Matchmaker.
Eventually, to cope with the increasing demand and to bring innovation into an age-old process, Priya Shah came up with an Indian version of speed dating where she arranged a meet and greet of over 100 singles with their parents. This helped candidates meet and greet many potential matches in one go and then understand who they hit it off with best, bearing in mind family dynamics too. This was a bold move, and some critiqued the concept while most loved it. Undaunted, Priya continued her work with honesty and integrity, with the support of her husband and while raising a child without family support.
On her win, Priya said “I am feeling proud and it’s truly a privilege to be awarded amongst Bollywood stars”.
