Reunion After 18 Years
People active on Instagram can experience more than just likes and views – sometimes, they can reunite with long-lost siblings. This was the case for a sister living in Hathi village in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, who found her lost brother after 18 years thanks to the social media platform. The sister recognized her brother, Bal Govind, in a photo on Instagram, and managed to track down his mobile number. After a heartfelt conversation, Bal Govind remembered his home and decided to make the journey from Rajasthan to Kanpur to meet his sister. The emotional reunion between the siblings, filled with tears and childhood memories, was like a scene from a film.
The Journey to Reunion
The story of the siblings, Rajkumari and Bal Govind, began in Hathipur village of Maharajpur in Kanpur. Bal Govind went missing from his village 18 years ago, traveling to Mumbai with some friends to work. While his friends eventually returned home, Bal Govind stayed behind and ended up in Jaipur, Rajasthan, due to a twist of fate. Struggling to make ends meet, he found a job in a factory and eventually settled down, marrying a woman named Ishwar Devi. Despite the passage of time, one defining feature – a broken tooth from childhood – helped identify Bal Govind as Rajkumari’s long-lost brother.
The Role of Instagram
Bal Govind’s love for creating reels on Instagram played a crucial role in the reunion with his sister. While posting philosophical content and scenic views of Jaipur, he unknowingly caught the attention of Rajkumari, who was also an Instagram enthusiast. One day, while watching reels on the platform, Rajkumari came across a familiar face – one with a broken tooth resembling her father. As she delved deeper into Bal Govind’s content, she became convinced that she had found her brother. Through Instagram, she managed to connect with Bal Govind, sparking a series of emotional conversations that eventually led to their long-awaited reunion in Hathipur village.
