If you're new, you'll have questions. Here are the ones people ask most, answered plainly.

Download on the App StoreGet it on Google Play
  • Is the app out? Where do I download it?

    Yes. KaunHoTum is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android, free to download. Search for KaunHoTum in your store. The quiz, your character and every layer are free; matching opens with the Founding Season, coming soon.

  • What is KaunHoTum?

    Three things in one place. One: a real personality journey (5 layers, 92 questions) that explains you to yourself. Two: the answer arrives as a Bollywood character, so it lands. Three: if you want it, matching runs on those same answers, without anyone having seen a photo. The first two parts are free forever, and complete on their own.

  • Is this free?

    The quiz, your character and every layer: completely free, always. Money only comes in for new matching: ₹299 a week or ₹999 a month, the same price for everyone. But money alone doesn’t get you in; you finish your journey first. And a conversation that has already started is never put behind a paywall.

  • Is this some kind of astrology or horoscope?

    No. No birth chart, no zodiac, no numerology. This is a personality mirror built on your answers. It doesn’t hand you a verdict; it gives you a way to see yourself.

  • Is this just another dating app?

    No. It is a personality platform with genuine matching on the far side of it, and plenty of people come only for the quiz and the layers and never choose to meet anyone. Even in the matching part there is no swiping: no photos, no deck, no likes counter. You finish your journey first; people know you by who you are, not by a picture.

  • Is matching only boy-meets-girl?

    No. When you set up your profile you choose whether you are a Hero, a Heroine, or a Lead (if neither label is yours). You also choose who you want to meet: Heroes, Heroines, Leads, as many as you like. Someone shows up for you only when it works both ways: they are in your choice and you are in theirs. Nobody can see who you want to meet. If you are a Lead, you pick a Hero or Heroine lens for your poster; it changes only your character art, not who you are.

  • Will my photo and location be visible to everyone?

    Photo? Never, not until you both want it. In discovery only your Bollywood character is shown. Your photo opens only when you both choose the mutual Pehli Jhalak reveal. Either of you can start that choice, and pausing it stays in both your hands too. And location? Your exact location is never shown to anyone. You control who can reach you. And nobody just walks in: you reach connections only after completing your full personality journey.

  • When do photos show up?

    Never in discovery; there, only your character is shown. After the answers to 6 questions have unsealed on both sides, the Pehli Jhalak window can open. Before any photo, you both record what you liked about the other person. Then the photo appears to both of you at the same moment, nobody first, nobody second. And if it doesn’t click, there’s a kind exit: a goodbye with dignity.

  • How does the conversation work? What is Gehraai?

    After a match you don’t get an empty chat box. You get Gehraai: 78 filmy questions across three stages (light talk → values → matters of the heart). Every question is answer-together: your answer stays sealed until both of you have answered, then both open at once, so nobody is left standing there open-hearted alone. If both answers aren’t in within 24 hours, a new question comes up, and a lone answer stays sealed for good.

  • Are there voice notes?

    Yes, but only once the conversation shows real investment: voice notes open after 4 mutual reveals. Why? Because a person is more honest in their voice, and that much truth isn’t something we ask of strangers at the start.

  • What’s different here for women?

    Trust first. Women are invited in first, but there is no free-for-women deal here, and there never was: the price is the same for everyone. And you decide who can message you. The men here have all finished the journey. Two more things. The Pehli Jhalak window opens only when you choose, so the door to a photo reveal stays in your hands. And Parakh, for women only: green and amber flags for every character, and a 30-second pulse after every conversation that shows you where the relationship is heading. Parakh sharpens your own judgment; the call is always yours.

  • Where does my data go?

    Straight answer: we store your messages, voice notes, reveal answers and quiz results to run the app, not to sell. Your photo is visible to no one before a reveal, and we never show it in discovery. Analytics runs only after your consent. And under the DPDP Act you have rights: access your data, correct it, erase it, and raise a grievance. The full detail is on the Privacy page.

  • Is there an age limit?

    Yes, 18+, always. This is an adult product, and on that we make no compromises.

  • How accurate is the result?

    Your first character comes from the 20-question quiz in the app. Think of it as a starting point, a mirror you keep polishing clearer with every layer.

  • What is the Founding Season?

    Mumbai’s first season of matching. Founding members match free till 14 Feb 2027: no card, no auto-charge. It opens soon in the app. Women are let in first; men join a waitlist and are let in as more women join, so every member actually gets introductions. Only verified members are matched.

  • Is this connected to any film or studio?

    No. This is a fan-culture initiative with no affiliation to any studio or artist. Every character is *inspired* by Bollywood, not copied; and the films that made all of this, we bow to on the Films page.

  • Why is this in Hinglish?

    Because depth shouldn’t depend on an English degree. The site comes in four editions (Hinglish, English, हिंदी and मराठी) so everyone can understand themselves in their own tongue. Switch the language up top.
