Holi, the online couple way

New Delhi, March 18 Holi is the time for friends, family and loved ones to come together, let go of our pasts and start new relationships. And when it comes to online dating, what better opportunity than to celebrate the festival together? Applying a tint of colour on your partners face while dancing to Bollywood songs and drinking lassi infused with bhaang is the ultimate way to get closer and now that the lockdown is not restricting us anymore, why not do it?

QuackQuack, a dating app conducted a survey to understand the different ways online couples choose to infuse their love with the multitude of colours this festival has to offer and here are the insights to it:

The survey indicated that 22 per cent of men in the same age group sent their partners either a suit to wear or sunglasses and watches.
