What a rishta aunty does, and why families still want one
For generations a rishta started with someone who knew both families. She listened to what a household was really asking for, thought of a family that might suit, and carried the first message so nobody had to approach a stranger. That middle person kept things respectful, and kept a family’s privacy.
In Australia that is harder. Relatives are often overseas, communities are spread across big cities, and a biodata sent to one aunty can end up forwarded to people nobody knows. Rishta Aunty on Khandaan keeps the good part, a knowledgeable guide who suggests families worth meeting, and leaves the forwarding out.
What she can do
- Search real family and matchmaker profiles across Australia by city, age, religion and profession.
- Ask you a short question when your request is vague, then explain in a sentence why each profile fits.
- Point you to matchmakers in your city if your family prefers a person to make the first approach.
What she will never do
- See or share anyone’s phone number, email, surname or private photos.
- Send an introduction or message on your behalf. You decide who to approach.
- Invent a profile. If nobody matches yet, she says so and suggests widening one criterion.
How to ask her
Write the way you would to a real aunty. The more she knows, the better her suggestions:
- “Bride for our son in Melbourne, Sikh family, late 20s, works in IT.”
- “Groom for our daughter, Muslim, Sydney or Canberra, a doctor or pharmacist.”
- “Are there Hindu matchmakers working in Brisbane?”
She will reply with profiles that match and a line on why each one fits. Open a profile to read the family’s own introduction, then decide whether to send an introduction yourself.
Prefer a real rishta aunty or uncle?
Many families still want a person to make the first approach, and that is a good instinct. Matchmakers list on Khandaan for free, there are no extra fees for the families they work with, and those who have had an ID check carry a badge. Not sure which route suits you?

What is a rishta aunty?
A rishta aunty, or rishta uncle, is a trusted matchmaker, often a relative or respected community member, who knows many families and suggests matches. In many Pakistani and Indian families she carries the first message between two households, so neither family has to approach a stranger.
Is Khandaan’s Rishta Aunty a real person?
No. She is an AI assistant that searches Khandaan’s real directory of family and matchmaker profiles while you chat. If you would rather work with a person, human matchmakers list on Khandaan too, and those who have had an ID check carry a badge.
Is it free?
Yes. Anyone can try Rishta Aunty on this page without an account, and members can keep chatting with her for free after signing in. Creating a family profile is free. Sending introductions is a one-off $79 payment, GST included.
Can Rishta Aunty share a family’s phone number or photos?
No. She only sees the same anonymised profile details any visitor can see, such as city, age, education and occupation. Contact details and private photos are shared only after both families agree to connect.
Can she search for Muslim, Hindu or Sikh families?
Yes. Tell her the religion, city, age range and whether you are looking for a bride or a groom, and she searches families who list on Khandaan across Australia. She will tell you plainly if nobody matches yet, rather than inventing a profile.
