Dont send the second local girl profile , ya.. its fine that she is good looking and educated, but you say her family members are not educated and doing some local business.. i'm not interested in that. Send me only the first one. Dont delay . Ya , the other dark girls parents,.. ya ya they called me , i simply said no to them ,.... I said ," I'm interested only in a fair girl" .

Wife,.. not exactly .. but my parents send me this photo for me to see. .. I like her to be my wife.. so i told like that. OK , will let you know if anything happens. Bye.

Scene 5 : This scene is several clips coming in sequence. To show that he is doing several rejections based on different reasons. Each shot should be from differnt angle /location/dress etc., depicting that its happening at differnt time line.
" Not tall enough.. dont press me.. "
" Not studied in a reputed college... her english is very very poor .. say no "
" Her family members are looking like village farmers.. no "
" When i show her photo to my frieds.. they are not impressed...they say she's not matching me.."
" You say they live in a small house.. then.. how will i go and stay there sometime.. , and also they dont even have a car.. drop it"
" There are too many members in their family.. ya brothers.. sisters.. , it will be big trouble.."
Need to add 2 more peculiar reasons like the above here...
