Gujarati vegetable seller's random friend request to a foreign lady turns into a fairytale marriage. Viral video leaves internet jealous

There are various examples on the internet where people have found love at the most unexpected times and places. However, for a woman from the Philippines, she found it on social media, in a random friend request from a Gujarat-based vegetable wholesaler. From not knowing the language to proposing and marrying each other, Limbajane and Pintu’s love story is going viral.

The viral video was shared by Storiyaan and opens with Limbajane Magdao Prasad, a woman from the Philippines, sharing her heartfelt story: “I never imagined a Facebook request from a vegetable seller would change my life.” The clip narrates how Pintu, a vegetable wholesaler from Gujarat, sent her a friend request on Facebook, sparking an unexpected connection.

At the time, Limbajane was in the Philippines, helping her father run a restaurant. Their initial conversations were minimal, limited to simple exchanges of “hi” and “hello” as neither of them spoke English fluently. However, they found a unique way to communicate—using emojis to express their feelings until video calls eventually became their language. Despite the language barrier, Pintu recalls how her “smile said everything.” For Limbajane, it was not just words but Pintu’s kindness, caring nature, and honesty that made her fall in love.

Pintu took their love story a step further by sending Limbajane a special package labeled “India.” Inside was a heartfelt proposal that moved her to tears, and without hesitation, she said yes. After two years of a long-distance relationship, Pintu finally flew to the Philippines to meet Limbajane’s family. Their bond was instant, and her loved ones warmly welcomed him as one of their own. The couple sealed their union with both Hindu and Christian wedding ceremonies, blending their cultures beautifully.

The video captures their joyous celebrations—dressed in elegant red and beige attire for their Hindu wedding, and for the Christian ceremony, Limbajane radiated in a classic white gown while Pintu chose a traditional white kurta and trousers.

Internet reacts

Orry, also known as Orhan Awatramani, responded with a shocked emoji to the post. One user shared a philosophical take, suggesting that if love is destined, it will find its way. Another pointed out an interesting detail, noting that Pintu was seen wearing a kurta at a Christian ceremony. A curious commenter questioned Pintu about his involvement, wondering if he was selling vegetables in Gujarat or helping out with the restaurant in the Philippines. Meanwhile, someone humorously remarked on the couple’s long-distance relationship, highlighting the language barrier while lamenting their own struggle to receive even a simple love letter.
