Balasore, March 12: Bidusmita Lenka (28) of Talabandh village in Bhadrak’s Tihidi area tied the nuptial knot with her long-time love Basanta Panigrahi, of Serapur village in Simulia block of Balasore district on Monday, who is physically impaired following an accident.
The wedding took place at Tarini temple in Radhamohanpur village, a few kilometres away from Basant’s native place.
According to sources, Bidusmita fell in love with Basanta in 2016 and both were committed to live their lives together.
Unfortunately, Basanta met with an accident in 2021 and got critically injured. He failed to walk and had to live a wheelchair-bound life. But Bidusmita stood firm to her commitment and loved him as before.
Meanwhile, Basanta had been insisting Bidusmita to move ahead to get married to a suitable candidate. Bidusmita's family members also wanted her to get her married to someone else. But Bidusmita kept her promise and decided to marry Basanta.
She reached Basanta’s home last week and expressed her desire to marry him. Her father Mayadhar Lenka also expressed his support for his daughter’s decision and accompanied her.
Despite initial reluctance, Basanta agreed to the marriage and his father Pitambar also expressed his happiness in welcoming Bidusmita into their family.
