"The Guy Who Hated Me In School": Woman's Wholesome Friendship Day Post For Husband Goes Viral
On Friendship Day, the internet is abuzz with selfies, heartfelt posts, and trending hashtags, as friends reminisce about shared memories and inside jokes. Amid this, a woman's Friendship Day post about her husband, who was once a classmate she didn't get along with, has gone viral and captured hearts on social media. Aanchal Rawat shared the touching full-circle love story on X, revealing how her former "enemy" became her life partner. In her now-viral post, Mr Rawat recalled how her story with her now-husband started on the wrong foot. She described herself as a girl who avoided boys in school. However, one day, a shy, nerdy classmate tried to offer her lunch- a kind gesture she didn't accept too kindly. In a twist of fate, she ended up breaking his prized Pokémon tiffin box. Fifteen years after parting ways, they reconnected on a matchmaking app, and the rest is history. "I was the kind of girl who didn't want to be friends with boys. A nerdy, shy guy tried to share his lunch with me, and I accidentally broke his Pokémon tiffin box lol.. I think I almost made him cry that day, and he never spoke to me again.. Cut to 15 Years later, I stumbled upon the same nerdy guy on Jeevansathi. His first text was literally 'Will you ever buy me a new tiffin box?' Hamari school time mei dosti toh nahi hui par han hamari shaadi zarur hogi. Happy Friendship Day, Pati Dev," the tweet read, along with a throwback class photo and a wedding picture. See the post here: I MARRIED THE GUY WHO HATED ME IN SCHOOL I was the kind of girl who didn't want to be friends with boys.

The comment section was full of witty remarks, warm wishes, and even a dash of envy, as people couldn't help but admire the full-circle romance that had unfolded. One user wrote, "The kind of love story sometimes I imagine." Another joke, "He remembered! Hope you never break another tiffin again. Wishing you both all the meals and memories ahead." A third said, "He remembers the tiffin, not the grudge. That's love." A fourth added, "Most wholesome thing in my feed today."

Kapil Sharma Reacts To Canada Cafe Attack For The First Time: ‘United We Stand Against Violence'
Last Updated: Kapil Sharma and wife Ginni reacted to the firing at their Canada café, sharing a video with officials and stating, 'United we stand against violence.' Kapil Sharma's Canada cafe, named Cap's Cafe, reopened its doors for guests recently after a horrifying firing incident happened outside the eatery by unidentified individuals. Since the firing incident happened, Kapil Sharma hasn't given any direct reaction until today, but almost a month after the reopening of the café, Kapil Sharma and his wife Ginni Chatrath have reacted to the incident with a video. Kapil Sharma, in a collab post with his wife Ginni, shared a video of officials visiting his café as they enjoy a peaceful meal days after the incident and attached it with a caption making it clear that they do not support any sort of violence. While sharing the clip, Kapil and his wife wrote, 'Thank you Mayor Brenda Locke, @surreypoliceservice and all the officials who visited @thekapscafe_ to show their love and support. United we stand against violence. We're truly grateful." As soon as Kapil shared this post, his fans started reacting and sharing happy wishes to him. Vindu Dara Singh wrote, 'Will visit soon!" 'Wow, this is so beautiful & amazing Kapil bhai!! Kabhi Canada aaoonga to yahan jarur visit karunga," a fan wrote. Meanwhile, a third fan commented, 'Indian police family eating with US police… only at Kaps Café." About the attack On July 10, the newly opened café owned by comedian Kapil Sharma and his wife, Ginni Chatrath, was attacked. Several shots were fired at Kaps Café, which had recently celebrated a soft opening and gained attention for its elegant pink-and-white decor, floral accents, and a menu featuring artisan coffee and desserts. What began as a celebration quickly turned chaotic as the establishment was vandalised. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the property did suffer damage. Authorities suspect that the attack was a targeted strike by the Laddi gang, associated with the banned Khalistani terrorist group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). Laddi is wanted in India for numerous terror-related offences and is believed to be the mastermind behind several recent attacks on Hindu leaders and pro-India individuals. As per a TellyChakkar report, Kapil was reportedly questioned by the Mumbai Police after the firing incident at his café in Canada. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
