I am much older than 40 but am very young at heart, very young physically, very active and any girl older than 40 would have a tough time keeping up with my active lifestyle,” the ad read.
"(You should) be no older than 40 and slim. And please don't be a vegetarian. If you are divorced, it doesn't matter, but definitely no children.

Under the headline ‘He is a Great Guy – Wish to Marry Him?’ the bizarre feature spells out exactly what the Mumbai-born businessman is looking for in a wife.

Mr Vimadalal spent more than one million Indian rupees (RM56,051) on a full-page advertisement in The Times of India to tell women how rich he is and how desperate he is to find a wife.
malaysiandigest.comAfter years of fruitless searching for love, the 69-year-old travel agency tycoon splashed on a full-page advertisement in The Times of India’s matrimonial section in search of a younger bride.
"I won't leave till I find a bride. I genuinely miss having a life partner," he told a reporter from the Mumbai Mirror.

Din is conducting interviews at Apeejay House and has met at least 30 women in the last four days. Any woman under the age of 40 can walk in for a "friendly" meeting.

Since the ad went live, Dinshah has interviewed 20 potential brides, but dismissed them by saying that there have been no serious possibilities.
He said: "Two or three were very sweet, nice people, but I place a lot of emphasis on the figure. The girls who have been very nice had big fat bottoms. I don't like that."
malaysiandigest.comNone have met the high standards he has set for a wife, except one. Without naming her, Din says she is a 39-year-old divorcee who holds an MBA degree.

The Mexican-based millionaire is lonely after losing his wife
Despite owning his own private plane and a sprawling mansion in Mexico, Mr Vimadalal has struggled to find love since his wife died in a car crash three years ago.
Since his wife's death, his luxury lifestyle has become meaningless to him and he now wants someone to share it with, he said.
malaysiandigest.comMr Vimadalal returned to his native Mumbai in search of love after trawling Mexico, the U.S. and online and finding ‘only idiots’.
Din says there won't be any compromise on this point. According to him, many women want to marry him only for his money.

"I want to share life with a wife who can ride with me in my plane. It's lonely to live life with no one to share it with," he says. His quest for a new partner has remained unsuccessful so far.

He said: "The biggest problem I have is my age. I'm 69 and I'm looking for a girl no more than 40. My wife was 14 years younger than me."
