From Unmatched to Married: Sofia & Fahim’s Karachi Love Story

If you had told Sofia and Fahim that their happily-ever-after would begin with an unmatch, they probably wouldn’t have believed you. But sometimes, the right rishta just needs a second chance, and maybe also a Muzz Gold subscription.

Sofia and Fahim, both from Karachi, began their rishta journeys the way many do: through traditional routes that promised a lot and delivered… well, very little. Fahim had been introduced to the world of rishta aunties, where profiles arrived regularly but nothing ever clicked.

After one too many mismatches, a friend finally said what Fahim needed to hear: “Why don’t you try Muzz?”

Sofia, on the other hand, had also given traditional matchmaking a fair shot, but again, she was never interested. When she saw an ad for Muzz, she hesitated. Online apps weren’t really her thing, in fact, Muzz would be the only app she ever tried. Compared to the slow back-and-forth of traditional rishtas, Muzz allowed her to actually get to know someone directly, and quickly. For someone serious about marriage, that made all the difference.

Then came the match. Fahim saw Sofia’s profile, immediately felt drawn to it, and sent her a message. Sofia, unfortunately, was so done with the whole process at that point that she unmatched him and deactivated her profile entirely. When Sofia later decided to give Muzz one last look, she logged back in and went through her inbox, and there he was – Fahim’s profile stood out instantly, but there was only one problem: she couldn’t message him anymore.

Most people would’ve sighed and moved on. Sofia didn’t. She subscribed to Muzz Gold, rematched with Fahim, and sent him a message. all while wondering if he’d even be open to talking now. Turns out, he was more than open.

What Fahim liked most were Sofia’s profile photos – they were unfiltered, natural, and refreshingly real. What started as a conversation quickly turned into something deeper. Within a week of talking, both knew they were serious.

They met only after their parents were in the loop, choosing to do things the halal way, together with their families. Fahim passed Sofia’s mother’s number to his own mom, and from there, things moved smoothly. Meetings happened, conversations flowed, and both families got along well.

Today, Sofia and Fahim are happily married and parents to a beautiful daughter.

Sofia now recommends Muzz to others with one simple piece of advice:
Everyone has their own timeline. Be patient. What’s meant for you will find you – sometimes after an unmatch.
