In the latest “what the fork is happening in India” news, we have a Mumbai based start-up ‘Rent A Boyfriend’ that well, as the name suggests clearly, lets you rent a boyfriend and it aims to cure… depression? wow it literally gets worse with every word.
This rent a boyfriend app (RABF) is a brainchild of 29-year-old Kaushal Prakash, who thinks it will help lonely people to overcome their depression by having a partner by their side for a day. He also confirms that will all be strictly platonic, “there won’t be any sexual relations or private meetings. It’s purely platonic.”
He also says that the app will come up with a toll-free number where people could talk to professionals and seek help. He also talked about the pricing. “You can rent a celebrity for Rs 3,000, or a model for up to Rs 2,000, or an aam aadmi (commoner) for just Rs 300-400 per hour. The website works strictly on a commission basis, giving 70 per cent of the earning to the boyfriends.”
They currently have 6 boyfriends in the inventory, one of them is Akash Choudhary from Splitsvilla.
