In today’s age of instant messaging and social media, an old love story has caught the attention of people on the internet. Former Indian Army officer Captain Dharamvir Singh recently shared an emotional handwritten love letter written by his then girlfriend and now wife, whom he affectionately calls “Thakurain”.
The letter was written on December 10, 2001, a few weeks after Captain Singh began his training at the Officers Training Academy in Chennai on November 1, 2001. Captain Singh wrote about it, “This letter was written on December 10, 2001 by Thakurain. She was my girlfriend at that time and is now my wife.”
In the viral video, Captain Singh also revealed that he had to do 500 push-ups to get the letter. He said, “Seniors used to give us letters after making us do 100 or 50 push-ups, but this letter was very heavy, and seeing its weight, seniors made me do 500 push-ups.”

He further said, “This was the first letter I received in the academy. In those days, letters had a different importance. The more hard work was put into writing a letter, the more true emotions were there in it.”
This video has moved millions of people. So far it has been viewed more than 1.4 million times and hundreds of people have given their feedback. Many social media users have praised the depth and truth of this love letter, which is rarely seen in today’s relationships.
One user wrote, “How beautiful the handwritten letters are. Sorry, but I could not stop myself and read a few lines. In 2001, your Thakurain was also as dramatic as me.” Another user commented, “Looks like there were many people trying to read this like me. If you have more such letters, please publish them. The story is heartwarming and the handwriting is beautiful. 500 push-ups were justified.”
The video has been in the news continuously and people on social media are praising the timeless love story of Captain Singh and his wife, inspired by a love letter that has not lost its emotional depth even after years.
