A session with a life coach changed her perspective.

Their date went well, but they didnt become a long-term couple.

Sima was worried about her clients expectations, though.

I think Rushali is too influenced by films and fairytales, she said.

I think she doesnt have to marry a poet.

She can always read a book.

Though Simadidfind a potential match for Rushali (a filmmaker who writes poetry!

), the pair didnt align on a major core value: family.

The connection quickly fizzled from there.

How will he, you know, love or adore my parents?

The excitement really went low.

Rushali then consulted with a professional life coach to discuss her concerns about relationships.

My mom and dad didnt have an arranged marriage, she explained.

So inter-caste, and too much of drama at home.

Even thoughIndian MatchmakingSeason 3 didnt see Rushali find a love connection, she was moved by the insightful session.

Like, I have a notion for perfect daughter, perfect wife, perfect girlfriend.

These notions are in my head … its OK to be imperfect.

You dont have to be perfect all the time.

So on that note is Rushali fromIndian Matchmakingsingle today?

Early during Rushalis journey onIndian MatchmakingSeason 3, she said she was extremely content being on her own.

I love being by myself, she said.

I mean, Im not lonely.

Its the most beautiful thing when you’re able to spend time with yourself and not be bored.

So if a partnerdoesappear on her Instagram, its probably pretty serious!
