Happy anniversary to the girl who taught me how to love & be loved ❤️

Each day, so many of us fall in love and decide to cement the bond with marriage. And as love grows, we celebrate one anniversary after another, wishing to spend a lifetime together .

Caste, creed, and other such “brandings” have plagued large sections of society since time immemorial. And when it comes to 2 directly clashing religions and their followers, the results are usually not so good. And the Hindu-Muslim clashes have borne some sour fruits. But love has the power to transcend all barriers, especially the man-made ones.

Anjali Chakra and Sundas Malik are one powerful couple breaking all such barriers. While Anjali is a Hindu girl from India, Sundas was brought up in a conservative Sunni household in Pakistan. But when Cupid stuck these two, nothing else mattered.

They went viral for their love story last year when this same-sex couple got married. They have again got the internet’s attention this year with their anniversary photoshoot by Sarowar Ahmed.

These two women posed in their traditional clothing in Manhattan. They shared a kiss under the Bryant Park Ferris Wheel too. While their love is nothing unusual in New York, things back home are not so easy. Firstly, they are a homosexual couple and on top of that, they are from such religious backgrounds which oppose each other. They are thankful for the acceptance that they have received but they also know how difficult it is for others like them around the world. Still, they hope the acceptance and love they have received will be showered on others like them as well.

Here are some pictures from their anniversary shoot. Anjali and Sundas are championing not only the cause of Hindu-Muslim love but also that of LQBTQ+ representation.

Shubho Bijoya! Two religions and two different cultural backgrounds means twice the opportunities to share the joy we find in our traditions. I got to take Sufi down to Durga Pujo in the South Bay where my dad and I told her about Maa Durga and her children, and my mom and I had chaat & lassi with her. Fun fact: my Baba’s birthday is on Ashtami, even though it rarely falls on that day on the western calendar! PS. our latest video is out! Link in bio.
