Vikarabad: It seems like a Hindi film story, but the real life incident has happened in Vikarabad of Telangana.
Two star-crossed lovers Mohammed Nawaz (23) and Reshma Begum (20) after their elders objected to their marriage, attempted suicide, Tuesday. However they failed and were admitted to the district hospital in Vikarabad. Tragic end! Certainly not.
There was, in true filmy style, a twist in the tale and the duo tied the nuptial knot in the presence of their parents and relatives with the hospital staff cheering on. The marriage came to light after videos of the wedding went viral on the social media.
Nawaz of Vikarabad and Reshma of Dharur are distant relatives. They met at a function and fell in love. When they informed their parents about their relationship, the elders objected to it.
Unable to convince the family members, Reshma attempted suicide by consuming a pesticide and was rushed to the district hospital. When informed about the incident, Nawaz went to the hospital to see her and after returning home, he too consumed a pesticide. His parents admitted him to the same hospital where Reshma was undergoing treatment.
Both the families then realised how serious the duo were about their relationship. The two lovebirds also told their parents that they would again attempt to take their own lives, if they did not get the consent to get married. The parents of both Reshma and Nawaz then gave in their consents.
They later informed their relatives who gathered in the hospital for marriage. As Reshma sat in the ward in her bridal wear, Nawaz was brought in on a wheel chair. Later, the Nikah was performed.
