Dubai-based Bhavin Chandrapota married Komal Bhatia, a Pakistani national, in Mumbai in August 2014

The ongoing tension at the India-Pakistan border seems to have made its way into the household of a Dubai-based couple. When 33-year-old Indian Bhavin Rajendra Chandrapota married Komal Vithal Bhatia, a Pakistan-born woman, cross border exchanges were looked at favourably, but things aren’t smooth sailing anymore. So much so that though they met in Dubai and reside there, Chandrapota is unable to secure the sponsorship for his wife to come to India for a wedding in February.
