<p>Sima aunty has grabbed eyeballs for her blunt feedback and mem-worthy dialogues. In an interview with Conde Nast Traveler, Sima spoke of how in the age of dating apps, she survives and is even better at her craft.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sima aunty, as she prefers to be called, claims to have found matches for people while holidaying in Zermatt, Interlaken, Canadian Rockies, and even at the Mumbai airport luggage carousel.</p>

<p>Sima says she follows a tried and tested method by visiting their families, seeing their home, checking their hobbies and assessing their lifestyle. "I get to the bottom of things, finding out all the inside stories, the family’s values and other such details you would never get from looking at a person’s online profile,” Sima said.</p>

<p>She also has a strict filter policy like if she feels they are not serious, they are “removed from her priority list.”</p>
