Nagaland's Minister of Higher Education Temjen Imna Along was in for a surprise recently when he discovered that people have been looking for his wife on Google. The Google search prompt amused the Minister who is yet to get married and is currently searching for the "one".

Taking to Twitter, Along shared a screenshot of the search prompt and wrote, "Google search excites me. I am still looking for her!"

Ayalee, @Google search excites me.

I am still looking for her! pic.twitter.com/RzmmgyFFeq — Temjen Imna Along (@AlongImna) July 10, 2022

The tweet caught the eye of Shaadi.com founder and Shark Tank India judge Anupam Mittal. "We'll have to do something about this," he tweeted in Hindi tagging the matrimonial company. To which Temjen Imna Along responded that he would get married after actor Salman Khan ties the knot.

Mittal then said that while the wait for Salman Khan to get married might be a very long one, Along may not have to wait that long to find a partner with Shaadi.com, prompting the bemused Minister to ask for a discount.

Bhai @AnupamMittal giving me an offer to get on board, before that all Naga Ladies should be on https://t.co/Lq3lwojyij. Tum Kuch Discount Dila dena And sorry for #StaySingle — Temjen Imna Along (@AlongImna) July 11, 2022

"Stay single" was the Minister's reference to a pledge that he had made on the occasion of World Population Day to stay single and contribute towards a sustainable future.

But soon, even Shaadi.com joined the conversation.

We've been waiting @alongimna time for you sir! Aa jao!

The humourous exchange delighted Twitter users. Here's how a few of them responded.

Two people most interested about people agreeing to get married and eagerly wait for it. 1) Maa 2) Anupam — Amit Deshpande (@amitdeshmra) July 11, 2022

Sir pighal rhe hai

Meanwhile, Anupam Mittal has been going to great lengths for Shaadi.com. Recently, he even shaved off his trademark moustache and beard – albeit a little unwillingly – during an advert for the matrimonial company.
