Anish Bhagat, the couple's grandson, took to Instagram on March 14 to share a video of the love story of his beloved grandparents, who have stood by each other's side for 60 years. Described as "the sweetest thing you will see today," the video portrays a testament to enduring love and commitment.
The video unfolds with a narration of the couple's enduring bond, highlighting their tradition of celebrating anniversaries with grand gestures of love. However, this year brought unforeseen challenges as Anish's grandmother faced health issues, leading to her hospitalization.
Despite the distance imposed by illness, the couple's love remained unwavering. As his grandmother prepared for her hospital stay, Anish's grandfather sang a heartfelt song for her, displaying his affection.
