A bizarre twist straight out of Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor starrer ‘Jab We Met’, released 18 years ago in 2007, unfolded in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore after a 22-year-old BBA student, who went missing from her house on August 23, resurfaced seven days later, claiming she married a man she met on a train to Ratlam.
As per the media reports, the girl, identified as Shraddha Tiwari, ran away from home on August 23 to marry her lover, but returned home a week later as another man’s bride, just like the movie plot in which Kareena’s character Geet, who plans to elope with her lover, meets Shahid’s character Aditya on a train and later ends up with him.

The 22-year-old girl revealed to the police that she had originally planned to elope with her boyfriend Sarthak. However, Sarthak didn’t turn up at the railway station and told her on the phone that he did not want to marry her.
The heartbroken girl boarded a train and after a few hours, she got off at Ratlam – a place made famous by ‘Jab We Met’.
It was at the Ratlam Railway Station, where she said she got in touch with another man, named Karandeep, an electrician at a college in Indore.
Upon seeing Shraddha sitting alone, Karandeep approached her and advised her to return home and inform her parents.
But Shraddha was determined. “I left home to get married. If I go back unmarried, I cannot live,” she told him. Despite his repeated attempts to convince her, Shraddha stood firm. Finally, Karandeep proposed to her, and Shraddha accepted.
Shraddha told police the couple travelled to Maheshwar-Mandleshwar and tied the knot. From there, they went to Mandsaur.
The couple later visited the famous Sanwariya Seth temple before Shraddha walked into the Indore police station, announcing she was married.
Meanwhile, the police remain unconvinced by Shraddha’s account and have asked her to provide a marriage certificate.
Shraddha’s father, Anil Tiwari, expressed disbelief over his daughter’s version of events. “Shraddha had called me, but I do not accept this marriage. Even after I sent her money to return, she chose to stay with Karandeep,” he said.
Police officials noted that Shraddha is legally an adult and free to marry anyone of her choice, but suspicion remains that she knew Karan beforehand.
“While the story sounds dramatic, she is not a minor and can legally marry anyone she chooses,” MIG police station in charge CB Singh said.
Indore’s Additional DCP Rajesh Dandotia said that both Shraddha and Karandeep are being questioned.
