After living in Pakistan for 22 years, Mumbai-born Indian national Hameeda Bano has returned to India.
In 2002, Bano was stranded in Hyderabad, Pakistan, despite an agent promising him a job in Dubai, according to news.
She married a man from Karachi after overcoming many obstacles, but he died during the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving her to live with her stepson.
When a local YouTuber posted a video about her experiences in 2022, her tale received popularity and her daughter was found in Mumbai.
The Indian government then took steps to verify her citizenship and make it easier for her to return.
