Someone has rightly said, “Love knows no reason, no boundaries, no distance. It has a sole intention of bringing people together to a time called forever.”
The heart wants what the heart wants and you can’t do much about it. Be it across the border or behind the bars, love finds its way. Same is the case with these 13 couples who found love in a country that has shared a history of love-hate relationship for over 6 decades one.
