‘Peepli Live’ Moment for Noida Village after Pak woman Seema Haider and Indian Sachin get bail

Seema Haider, who came to India from Pakistan to be with her Indian lover Sachin Meena has been in the headlines for the past several days.

This unique tale of a Pakistani woman and an Indian man who fell in love while playing the online game Player Unknown's Battlegrounds or PUBG as it's better known has sparked curiosity and interest across the nation. But for the residents of Rabupura village near Noida, where Sachin hails from it is no less than a Bollywood film in the making. People are constantly crowding Sachin's home to get a glimpse of the 'Bahu from Pakistan'.

Seema Haider was arrested on July 4 for illegally entering India without a visa via Nepal with her four children, while Sachin was put behind bars for sheltering illegal immigrants. However, both were granted bail on Friday.

When OneIndia visited the home of Sachin and Seema, they were more than happy to share their unique story of union and fate. Seema Haider recalls her time in Karachi in Pakistan where she was intrigued by the life of her Hindu friend and wanting to visit temples. She attributes their meeting to destiny, acknowledging the mysterious ways in which life unfolds.

The couple's love story began during the Covid pandemic while playing PUBG. They got chatting and fell in love. They finally decided to meet in Nepal to get to know each other better. And they eventually got married in Nepal in March this year.

Seema Haider also revealed that while she interacted with many people during the game, it was Sachin who captured her heart, compelling her to embark on a journey across borders.

When asked about her decision to leave Pakistan, Seema Haider explains that her love for Sachin and his family played a significant role. Through video calls and conversations, she saw the joy and togetherness Sachin experienced with his family, celebrating festivals and cherishing special moments.

As someone who often felt alone in Pakistan, Seema Haider yearned for the sense of belonging and the warmth of a family. She expresses her gratitude for finding exactly what she longed for-love and a family-ultimately leading her to make the decision to leave Pakistan behind.

On the other hand, Ghulam Haider, Seema Haider's first husband, released a heartfelt video pleading with the Indian Government to ensure the safe return of their four children to Pakistan. He alleged that his wife was lured and manipulated to come to India through PUBG.

Meanwhile, villagers we spoke to are right now riding a wave piqued by the national media - not quick to judge right now. As an elderly person we spoke to said, "We are just glad they are home, she is our "bahu from Pakistan"."
