Marriage portal uses face-restructuring technology used by cops to get you a celebrity look-alike partner
Wanted groom, tall, dark, handsome and very rich is passe. The devil, these, days, is in the detail. And so you should spell out what exactly you mean by handsome and beautiful Brad Pitt or Abhishek Bachchan. Angelina Jolie or Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan. And bharatmatrimony.com will dig them out for you. If they are still single, that is.
The marriage portal zeroes in on partners resembling celebrities with the help of a facial search technology that works on the dimensions of a celebrity's face, measures distances between the various features and matches these with photos on the matrimony portal. All this, at no cost.
