💬 Her Viral Post & Quote
In her now-famous post on August 3, Aanchal recounts:
“I MARRIED THE GUY WHO HATED ME IN SCHOOLI was the kind of girl who didn’t want to be friends with boys. A shy, nerdy classmate 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… 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”
