In India, a plot unfolds that is worthy of a Bollywood film adaptation. A brief plot of the real story sounds like this: a Pakistani citizen runs away from her husband with her four children to India to reunite with a young man she fell in love with while playing with him online in PUBG.
The romance of 27-year-old Seema Ghulam Haider and 22-year-old Sachin Meena began in 2019 in PUBG Battlegrounds, when Sima’s husband went on a business trip to Saudi Arabia. Both of them spent hours playing and chatting in PUBG.
In March 2023, the lovers met for the first time in person one-on-one in Nepal. After that, Sima decided to move to her lover with her children, none of whom have turned seven years old by now.
Everything went well for a while. For more than a month, Sima lived with her children with Sachin at his father’s house in Greater Noida (this is south of New Delhi). However, when they began to figure out how to legalize Sim, they were handed over to law enforcement agencies by a lawyer to whom they had previously asked for help.
As a result, Sima was detained by the Indian authorities in connection with illegal entry into the country, and her lover and father were arrested on charges of providing shelter to foreigners with a missing visa.
On Saturday, the local court released everyone on bail, noting that the woman crossed the border “without malicious intent.” Now the lovers are asking the Indian authorities to help them get married. The latter may be a problem, since Sima is a Muslim, and Sachina professes Hinduism. In addition, although Sima filed for divorce in Pakistan, she is still formally married.
