It could well be a perfect script for a Bollywood romance block buster, but for Phoolchand it was sort of a heart break when he performed the marriage and `vidai' of his wife with a smile on his face.

Chanda, a resident of Bikapur village of Faizabad district, had an affair with a youth Suraj of the same village. However, bowing to the wishes of her parents, she married Phoolchand in 2012. Phoolchand, a native of the adjacent village Palipoorab, happily took his bride to his house.

However, soon he had to leave for Jalandhar to earn money. Though the husband and wife talked to each other frequently over phone, Chanda and Suraj's love further blossomed as he used to visit his relative in the Palipoorad village.

Meanwhile, Phoolchand returned back on August 4 only to get a shocker. Chanda, not only returned the jewelery, clothes and other items that Phoolchand had given her at the time of wedding, but also told him the truth.

"I was happy that she relied on me and told me the truth. I got angry and sad for some time but decided to take out a solution", Phoolchand said.

After discussing the matter with his father, Phoolchand reached Chanda's village to confront the village panchayat. "I suggested that Chanda and Sooraj should be allowed to marry and I have no objections", Phoolchand said.



After a long discussion, the Panchayat agreed to Phoolchand's offer. Sooraj and his family were also summoned. Sooraj and his family members agreed and the wedding was performed at the village's shiv mandir on Thursday.

"This shows the maturity and strength of our youths. We salute Phoolchand for this brave step. It is better to accept the truth and act accordingly than to linger on with a forced relationship throughout the life", Ravindra Yadav, the village head of Bikapur said.



Besides throwing out a lavish lunch, Phoolchand and his family members also gave gifts to the newly wed at the time of `Vidai' with blessings of a happy married life.
