Love after 50: This Pune matchmaking event helps senior citizens find companionship

In an age dominated by dating apps, matrimonial websites, and algorithm-driven matchmaking, a heartwarming initiative in Pune is redefining companionship - this time for senior citizens. A unique matchmaking event organised exclusively for elderly individuals, mostly above the age of 50, has been winning hearts across social media and beyond.

The event recently grabbed national attention after former actress and television host Shenaz Treasury visited the gathering and shared glimpses of the initiative on her social media platforms. Calling the concept ‘beautiful’ and ‘deeply moving’, Shenaz interacted with several elderly couples who found love and companionship later in life through this platform.

More Than Companionship

One such man shared an emotional story that resonated with many. After losing his wife during the COVID-19 pandemic and with his children settled and living their own lives, loneliness had taken over his days. “I felt a void in my life,” he said.

It was through this Pune-based matchmaking event that he found a companion willing to walk the remaining journey of life with him. “It brought a smile back into my life,” he added, his words reflecting hope and gratitude.

Addressing Emotional Needs

Another couple spoke candidly about their unconventional yet thoughtful approach to companionship. Before tying the knot, they chose to live together to better understand each other. After spending time together, they decided to get married and now say they are happier than ever.

At a time when matchmaking largely caters to the youth, this initiative stands out for addressing emotional needs often overlooked, like companionship, understanding, and love in the later stages of life. 

The Pune matchmaking event has not only created meaningful connections but also sparked conversations about loneliness among the elderly, proving that it’s never too late to find love.
