Watch: Pakistani Seema Haider, who crossed border to marry Indian man, hoists tricolour on Independence Day

The cases of Seema Haider and Anju, Pakistani and Indian women respectively, who crossed the border to marry men they met and fell in love with online, have captured great public interest.

As the nations celebrate their Independence Days on August 14 and 15, videos have surfaced on the Internet showing how the two women celebrated their partners' countries on the occasion.

Seema Haider can be seen voicing Indian patriotic slogans, including 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' (Victory to Mother India) in the video below, which is circulating on X (formerly known as Twitter).

On the other side of the border, Anju reportedly also celebrated Pakistan's Independence Day, cutting a cake along with her husband.

Anju, 34, who shares two children with her Indian husband, Arvind Kumar, crossed over to Pakistan legally on July 21. She travelled to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Upper Dir district and reportedly tied the knot with 29-year-old science graduate Nasrullah in a local court.

Pakistani police said that Anju had arrived on a one-month visa to meet Nasrullah and was staying at his house. On Tuesday, Pakistani authorities extended Anju’s visa for a year, Nasrullah said in a statement, according to Geo News. He added that they provided all the required documents to Pakistan’s interior ministry and that all the departments and authorities were cooperating with them.
