Chhaya Bhajanka was 18 years old when she lost her dad to a cardiac arrest. She was very close to him. “

“Every night, when Papa would come back home from work, I’d run and get him a glass of water. He’d then hug me and tell me all about his day, and I’d listen with rapt attention. “My Papa was my best friend. The two of us, we were a team, and he taught me all my ‘firsts’ – flying a kite and even swimming! He always pushed me to do more“, the post shared on the Instagram page read.

Her father always wanted her to chase her dreams and do whatever she wanted to. She worked hard and became an architect. She met her soulmate Vijay and was instantly drawn to him because he was quite similar to her dad. They fell in love and decided to get married.

“But I knew I couldn’t have gone through my wedding day without having Papa on my side. So, when the time came for me to walk down the aisle, I decided to carry Papa’s picture with me. It was such an emotional moment, all the guests cried with me”, she said.

“Heart touching…. Uncle must be proud of her”, wrote another.
