Mangaluru, Aug 9: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who is known for using social media to address the concerns of the people, has come forward to help a newly wedded Muslim couple facing a forced separation during their scheduled honeymoon trip.
Faizan Patel, a photographer hailing from Mangaluru and settled in Delhi, had planned his honeymoon trip to Europe. He got the shock of his life when he learnt that his wife Sana's passport is missing.
However, instead of cancelling the trip, Mr Patel decided to go alone on honeymoon. After boarding an international flight on Monday, he clicked a picture of him seated on a plane and his wife's photo being tucked to the seat next to him.
The 30-year-old man then tweeted the picture tagging Sushma Swaraj. He did not even request for her help directly. To his utter surprise, the minister not only responded to his tweet but also assured him that his wife would be with him on the next seat.
And that was not just a jumla'. The minister immediately took necessary steps to provide Sana a duplicate passport within a day. The lucky girl is likely to board a Europe bound flight tomorrow.
An alumnus of St Aloysius College, Mangaluru, Faizan Patel is now a successful wedding photographer in Delhi. He fell in love with Delhi girl Sana after meeting her in Manipal Institute of Communication. The marriage took place on December 16, 2015. Thanks to his busy schedule, the couple had postponed their honeymoon trip to this August.

Unlucky husband - he could have saved shopping money if he had not taken her with him....
Patelere,
Avoli eer.
good luck
NONSENSE....SHUSHMA IS FIT FOR ONLY THESE KINDS OF THINGS...
DOES SHE REPLY TO ALL HER TWEETS? THEY JUST WANT NAME IN NEWS PAPER
I hope our indian ministers & authorities understand the REAL issues (Poverty, high price, education, caste system and more) of our life... and act on it just like this ONE...
good job by the govt
lucky husband would have enjoyed fully without wife :P
Dear Sushma Ji,
First give priority to them who really suffered and want your help. but this is the totally utter nonsense. couple went to for honeymoon for enjoying their life and his wife \LOST\" her passport not stolen. How can guy get ready to the trip alone without wife for honeymoon? even the guy didnot ask ur help he just twitted."
