On being asked about the risk factor involved in marriages, the 59-year-old shared her opinion. She explained, “99% of my matchmakings have been successful, 0.1 % might be an exception but it's up to the bride and groom. If the couple does not have flexibility, trust, communication, love and support between each other then how I am coming into the picture in all these problems? So I am telling the youth to be adjusting, flexible, comprising and loyal so that’s how the relationship works so that’s not my fault.”
