    As per the post, the man was successful in finding a sister, however, not just one...


    Digital Desk: While the Tinder app is meant to help individuals find partners and companionship, some users use it for bizarre purposes.


    Like this Mumbai-based man who revealed on Reddit that he utilized the app to find a "sister." He explained about how he used to feel excluded on Raksha Bandhan because he doesn't have a sister.


    For the last two years, he has been using Tinder to find someone to hang out with on Raksha Bandhan. Two weeks before the festival, he puts in his bio, "Looking for a sister to hangout during Rakshabandhan."


    As per the post, the man was successful in finding a sister, however, not just one, but two girls, and the three of them are now preparing to celebrate Raksha Bandhan and exchange gifts.


    "I have felt the FOMO for most of my life during Rakshabandhan as I do not have any sister. No one to tie me Rakhi and me gifting them stuff. Anyways, since last 2 years I have been putting the bio as follows during 2 weeks before Rakshabandhan: ‘Looking for a sister to hangout during Rakshabandhan.’ Thanks to tinder, now I have like two sisters both of whom I met on tinder. This year all 3 of us are planning to get together and celebrate Rakshabandhan and exchange gifts and stuff. I’m so excited," he wrote in the post.


    More than 500 people have already voted on the Reddit article, and 120 people have commented.


    "This reminded me of a girl’s profile managed by her dad, who wrote: ‘Looking for my daughter" instead of "looking for a boy for my daughter,’" commented a Reddit user.


    "Yooo. I’ll tie you a rakhi. My bro’s not in the country, and I feel lonely during Rakshabandhan too. Reddit sister for you," wrote another.


    "They already ruined Tinder with ‘Here only for networking’, and now this," posted a third.
