Humara aashirwaad hai (Seeing this filled us with joy. Our blessings are with you.' He also posed for a photograph with the couple, offering his heartfelt wishes for the journey ahead.

'Humara ashirvad hai – ghar se door ghar mil jaata hai (You found home away from home),' wrote one user.

A third noted, 'Ye hi Indian culture aapne log dekh ke kitna khus ho gaye, especially Indian flag dekh ke hamara ashirwad hai aapke saath pure emotion. ("This is Indian culture — they became so happy seeing our people, especially after seeing the Indian flag. Our blessings are with you, pure emotion.)"
