| Bajrangi Bhaijaan's real-life Munni Geeta may also see a happy ending |
Staff Correspondent, August 5, 2015, NewsCrunch
A hearing impaired and mute couple from Amritsar, Rajesh Kumar and Ram Dulari, have stepped forward to claim that the girl which is known as Geeta in Pakistan, is their daughter Pooja,
Twenty-three-year-old Geeta, an Indian girl, who is also hearing impaired and mute, crossed the border inadvertently 12 years ago and has been raised by the Edhi Foundation in Karachi.
Pakistan's social activist Ansar Burney has been trying to trace her parents for the last few years and his effort received a boost when Salman Khan's movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which deals with a similar theme, became a hit in both India and Pakistan.
The couple, Rajesh Kumar and Ram Dulari, say their daughter went missing when she was four-years-old. Though Geeta has failed to recognise her parents' photos, Ansar Burney thinks it is a break through and is likely to press for a DNA test, reports The Hindustan Times.
Among other things, Geeta bears a strong resemblance to Ram Dulari, who is convinced that she is her missing daughter.
Geeta's well-wishes in Pakistan are hoping that Geeta will find her parents soon. They fear that she may slip into depression if she is not united with her family.
