Man learned Chhattisgarhi to marry the woman he loved; 1984 love letter goes viral on Reddit
41-year-old love letter – an emotional handwritten note from a young man to his future father-in-law, written entirely in Chhattisgarhi, has taken Reddit by storm. Shared by user Rich-Arrival-1427, the letter was penned in 1984 by their father, a Delhi-based government employee deeply in love and determined to win approval for marriage.
What makes this letter moving isn't just its age, but the effort behind it. The writer learned Chhattisgarhi – his partner's mother tongue – just to express his respect and sincerity to her family. 'My dad learnt Chhattisgarhi just to impress my grandfather,' the user wrote. 'After six years of relationship and three years of convincing their families, they finally married, and celebrated 40 years of marriage this year.'
The man spoke of his stable job, his respectable background, and promised that his beloved 'would never face sorrow in their life together.' One line in particular stood out to readers: 'Your answer will decide the direction of my life.'
The letter struck a chord with thousands, quickly gaining over 6,000 upvotes and hundreds of emotional comments. One user wrote, 'Mad respect to your father, mate. I recently found a letter my dad wrote to my grandfather asking for money to watch a movie because his exams didn't go well. Edit — Movie was Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander.'
Another highlighted the opening line: 'I love that your father starts with 'Jai Johar' — love the tribal pride.'
One of the most heartfelt comments read: 'SOOOOOO CUTEEEEEEEEEEE! To go above and beyond for her, learning her language, asking her father's permission… I'm so happy they found each other—and so sad I'll never be loved with that kind of intensity.'
Another user wrote, 'Oh god… this is so touching. Your dad is an honest man in love. They must be a phenomenal couple.'

New Details on Bond 26: Denis Villeneuve to Direct with Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi Among Frontrunners
After years of speculation, Amazon MGM has officially confirmed that Denis Villeneuve will direct the 26th James Bond film—making this the first 007 installment under a new studio's leadership. The Dune director has stepped into one of cinema's most iconic roles behind the camera. Villeneuve has also promised both reverence for the franchise and a new trajectory for the series. With an estimated 2028 release, the film remains in early development, but the studio is already narrowing down possible leads and writers. Villeneuve's vision and Amazon's new era Denis Villeneuve, whose filmography includes Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, and Sicario, called Bond 'sacred territory' in a statement, acknowledging his lifelong admiration for the spy series. He joins the project as executive producer alongside Tanya Lapointe, but does not hold final cut or a multi-film deal. The upcoming movie signals a major shift in the Bond franchise—formerly tightly controlled by the Broccoli family, who relinquished creative rights to Amazon earlier this year after six decades of stewardship. With Dune: Messiah already in pre-production, Villeneuve's Bond version will not enter full-scale production for at least two years. Still, sources tell Variety that the studio is accelerating development by seeking a screenwriter and finalizing casting preferences. Casting focus: Will there be a younger James Bond? Reportedly, Amazon MGM is targeting actors under 30 for the next James Bond. Early favorites include Jacob Elordi, known for Euphoria and Saltburn; Tom Holland, star of Spider-Man and Uncharted; and Harris Dickinson, who appeared in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Babygirl. While no official talks have begun, the studio appears intent on rejuvenating Bond with a new generation. Older fan picks like Henry Cavill and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are reportedly out of contention due to age. Jonathan Nolan was considered to write the script, per insiders, but his current commitments to other Amazon projects likely rule him out. A shortlist of other writers is under review as the studio shapes what could be a very different kind of Bond film.
