American Woman Ditches 'Average' US For 'Extraordinary' Life In India In Viral Video
An American woman has gone viral on social media after stating she left behind a comfortable but "average" life in the US to live an "extraordinary life in India". Kristen Fischer, who moved with her family to India four years ago, showed a postcard of her vibrant life in India, alongside her kids.
Reflecting on her decision to shift base from the US to India, Ms Fischer posed a powerful question: "Live in India or America?". The video seemingly offers two options, with Ms Fischer and her family opting to immerse themselves in the madness of Indian culture, its vibrant sounds and tastes.
"I knew I had control of which direction to take my life. I could choose an average life in the USA, or I could choose to do something bold and extraordinary," wrote Ms Fischer.
Ms Fischer, a mother of four, said she did not "regret" her decision to set base in India, where she had so far met incredible people and seen amazing places.
"We moved our family to India 4 years ago and haven't regretted it a bit. In these past 4 years I have met some amazing people, seen some incredible places, had some awesome food, and changed my heart forever," said Ms Fischer.
"India has changed my life forever and I will never be the same. You only get one life, how will you live it?" she added.
In the video, Ms Fischer could be seen wearing a saree, getting a mehendi, enjoying car rides in central Delhi, celebrating Holi and revelling in other festivities with her children.

In an interview with Filmfare, he recalled, 'When I arrived for my first muhurat shot, I came on a motorcycle. The film was Aetbaar, and Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan were there to clap the board for me. Hrithik and I were classmates—he's a sweetheart. But when I reached the venue, the security stopped me at the gate and asked, 'Who are you?' I told them, 'This is my film's muhurat,' but they didn't recognize me and refused to let me in.' He added, 'Finally, after some convincing, they opened the gates, and I saw Amitabh Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan waving at me, calling me in. That was my first time—it happened at Sujeet Kumar's house.'
