The last time I asked Ennis how his personal lowe story was going, he just looked at me woefully and shook his head. Thanks to Eastern Eye, I’ve now figured out what happened:
Ravi Arora, 39, from east London, flew 5,000 miles [to Delhi] to meet a potential bride he had met through shaadi.com… only to find out that she was not born a woman… “I was in front of a girl who no longer looked like one and sounded very different from the Manisha I had been spending two to three hours every week speaking to… The photos were of her cousin, the phone calls had been made by her sister and she had been operated on to become a woman.”
Lest we think Arora is prejudiced, he hastens to add:
“She has a right to express her sexuality as she wants, but by lying about herself, a seed of doubt about all the other profiles on shaadi.com have been placed in my mind.”
I don’t know what’s harder to believe: Arora’s incredible story, or that he actually trusted the profiles on dating sites.
