Will Chennai girls accept boys with less than 50K Salary?

In today’s dating and marriage conversations, money often becomes a silent filter. Some believe salary reflects stability, lifestyle, and future security — making it an important factor.

So in Chennai today… is income a deciding factor in relationships, or can potential and character outweigh it?
