Kanpur: A heart-warming story of a sister meeting her lost brother in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur after 18 years is winning hearts on social media. Even more surprising is the turn of events that led to the meeting of the siblings after 18 years. Reports suggest that the sister spotted her brother in Instagram reels and recognised him with his broken teeth.

It is being said that the sister, identified as Rajkumari, a resident of Hathipur village, had been scrolling through Instagram reels when a familiar face sent shivers down her spine and he was no other than her lost brother.

As claimed by Rajkumari herself, the young man featured in a reel from Jaipur had a chipped tooth, similar to her brother, Bal Govind, who was lost about 18 years ago.

Recalling the time, she reportedly stated that around 18 years ago, Bal Govind had left for a job in Mumbai from their village Inayatpur located in Fatehpur. However, he never returned back ever since then.

Her brother, after reaching Mumbai, left his friends and started a job at a different place. He had initially kept in touch with his friends, but gradually all contact ceased. All his friends returned to their village, but Bal Govind continued in Mumbai.

His life took an unexpected turn when he decided to board a train back home when he fell ill. The train took him to Jaipur instead of Kanpur. The tired and disoriented Bal Govind met a man at the railway station, who got him a job at a factory as his health improved.

Gradually, his condition improved and he began building a life in Jaipur. He married a girl named Ishwar Devi and they had two children. A whole lot had changed, but his broken tooth remained the same.

While building a new life, he also discovered a passion for creating Instagram reels, showcasing the sights of Jaipur. One of these reels found its way to Rajkumari's feed, reigniting a long-dormant hope.

Driven by the chipped tooth and a growing sense of recognition, Rajkumari tracked down Govind's contact through Instagram. Initial hesitation on his part melted away as they talked about each other's childhood memories and details that confirmed their bond. 

In an emotional phone call, Rajkumari pleaded with her brother to return home. Bal Govind readily accepted. On June 20, Govind arrived in Hathipur, reuniting with his sister after 18 years of separation. The emotional reunion was witnessed by overjoyed family members.

"They say good things don't come from social media, but sometimes, a simple video can refresh life's memories and change everything. My brother is back, and that's the greatest happiness I could ask for,” Rajkumari said, her eyes filled with tears of joy.

Govind initially faced some struggles recalling his family members due to his past illness, but with his sister by his side, he is looking forward to reconnecting with his roots in Inayatpur.

On the other hand the heart-warming story has become talk of the town in the area.
