A man from the western Indian state of Maharashtra has the perfect answer for your singlehood worries.

A video of a young man cosying up to his alleged partner on a sea beach has emerged recently. Even though this sounds normal, what happens next will likely make you smile.

As the video progresses, it is seen that the couple, who are seated comfortably, gets approached by an elderly man, who tries to lift the cloth covering their head.

The man then tries to pull the girl away and there comes the surprise.

The partner is none other than a cardboard cut-out of a female, complete with attire.

When placed properly, with arms around the cut-out’s shoulder, it does resemble a posture assumed by a woman.

While such an arrangement may not suffice one’s desire for a partner, owing to its inanimate nature, it works wonders, especially if someone is looking to pull a prank on someone.

Named after Saint Valentine, Valentine’s Day is celebrated annually on February 14
