These matchmakers are helping people find love the traditional way

Looking for love can be a daunting task, especially in this digital age of online dating and swipe-rights. That's where professional matchmakers, Preeti Kothari and Heena Kajaria, come in. Based in Sydney, they are the focus of the SBS documentary series, 'The Matchmakers'. This Valentine's Day, Preeti and Heena will answer a burning question that many hopeful Australians have: why are people turning to the ancient traditions of matchmaking to find their soulmate, despite the rise of online dating, profile pictures, and high divorce rate?
