Since the advent of social media, it has bridged the communication gap between cities, countries and even across continents. In the past, we have heard many people meeting through social media and marrying each other later.
A new incident has come into the limelight where a nurse from the UK travelled all the way to Agra to marry the love of her life.

Hannah Hewitt, a British nurse, met Palendar Singh on a social media podcast during the first wave of COVID-19. Hewitt was a resident of Manchester and Singh worked in a private firm as a sales manager in Agra.
The two hit it off, discussed their likes and dislikes, exchanged facts about their cultures, and shared telegram and email IDs with each other. The couple fell in love and decided to marry when the pandemic was over and things began to return to normalcy.
The couple also talked to India Today. Hewitt told the interviewer that she would try her best to mould herself according to Indian culture and learn Hindi.

There have been several instances in the past where people have met on social media and married their life partners. However, it is not only common people but celebrities have also slipped into each other’s DMs, and today we know many of them as happily married.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are one such pair. It was Jonas who sent our ‘Desi Girl’ a text. He wrote, “I am hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet.”
To this, Chopra replied, “My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me?”
After that, the rest is history. The two are proud parents to a baby girl and pet parents of three dogs.
Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja have also met each other online. They initially met on Snapchat and started talking there. Kapoor asked Ahuja to “Stop texting, just call me.” Many other celebrity couples have also met online. The two are married and have a son, Vayu.

Social media platforms have often taken up the space of dating and matrimony sites but without people and their parents sharing their unmatchable expectations. It is where two people can connect and talk to each other without the inhibitions of anyone judging them.
Though we have dating platforms like Tinder and Bumble, social media continues to be a place where one can reach out to another person. It is where people overlook the barriers of caste, class, country, and even continent.
