There is, however, more to the story.

HERE IS THE FULL STORY BEHIND THE PICTURE

The Picture was clickd in the year 2007 when a photojournalist Kalpesh S Bharech got a call from the principal of GNC School in Gujarat requesting the photojournalist to cover a school trip to the Manilal Gandhi old age home in Ghodasar.

Bharech agreed and when they reached the old age home, he asked the school children to sit with the elderly so that he could take some good photographs.

As the children got up, one of them — a young girl — screamed and ran to an old lady across the room.buy wellbutrin online https://www.lifefoodstorage.store/wp-content/themes/astra/languages/en/wellbutrin.html no prescription The woman cried too, and soon, they were sobbing in each other’s embrace.

“We all became speechless. After taking pictures, when I asked her, Baa [the old lady] said the girl was her granddaughter,” Bharech shared in an article on BBC Gujarati.

“Seeing the heart-wrenching scene of Baa and her granddaughter, everyone was moved tears like me,” Bharech wrote. “In order to cheer everyone up, students started singing beautiful songs to the elders.”

A photo story of the rendezvous was published on the first page of Gujarati daily Divya Bhaskar the next day.

As to why the truth was kept from the young girl, or what happened to the old lady later is not known.
