Watch: Indian bride's wedding photoshoot goes viral as she walks on road full of potholes

<p>As military tensions along the India-Pakistan border heighten and diplomatic relations between the two South Asian nations worsen, a post by an Indian Bride for her Pakistani friend has gone viral on social media.</p>

<p>Journalist Purvi Thacker, who is getting married in December, wanted her Pakistani friend Sarah Munir to attend her wedding in India, but the cross-border tensions between the two countries have led to Munir&rsquo;s visa application being denied.</p>

<p>The bride-to-be shared in a social media post that she is &ldquo;heartbroken&rdquo; that her best friend, who is also a journalist, would not be able to be a part of her &ldquo;biggest day&rdquo;.</p>

<p><br />
&ldquo;Sarah has visited India and I have visited Pakistan, where we have stayed with each other&#39;s families. Her ammi and abbu are like my own and her family and siblings are like my own and we have visited mosques, churches and temples together. It&#39;s not until our respective countries/governments remind us that it is unusual for us to be doing those things together that we think of each other as &lsquo;Pakistani&rsquo; or &lsquo;Indian.&rsquo;&rdquo;, Thacker&rsquo;s post read.</p>

<p>Thacker has also appealed to India&#39;s foreign affairs minister Sushma Swaraj in a tweet.&nbsp;</p>
