About the hosts
Mukthar & Jaleela's story
We fell in love during college, but our families opposed it because of status and traditions. We faced many hardships—distance, tears, and rejection—but never gave up on each other. My boyfriend worked hard to prove himself, while me patiently stood by him with courage. Finally, our sincerity melted our families’ hearts. After years of struggle, our love story ended beautifully in our blessed wedding day. We are waiting for this day for so many years.
