Anju's arrival in India via Wagah on Wednesday was not without complications. Her eagerness to meet her two children faced a hurdle, with her ex-husband making it clear through Indian media that he would not permit the reunion. This unforeseen challenge adds a layer of complexity to Anju's cross-border narrative.

The love story began on July 27 when Anju ventured into Pakistan and connected with Nasrallah, a resident of Dir Upper, through social media. The virtual friendship blossomed into a marital bond, as confirmed by sources close to Nasrullah. However, Anju, when approached by Indian media, contradicted this, asserting that she was not married to Nasrullah.

As Anju's cross-border love tale unfolds, the complexities and challenges add nuance to a story that transcends geographical boundaries. The journey continues, with the hope that love will find a way despite the obstacles presented on either side of the border.
