Watch Emotional Reunion: Japanese Son Reunites with Indian Father After 19 Years

Punjab: In a heart-touching story, a father from Amritsar, Punjab, reunited with his son from Japan following 19 years of separation.

The man, identified as Sukhpal Singh, a resident of Amritsar, met a Japanese woman named Sachie in Thailand and later married her. The couple moved to Chiba Ken, near Tokyo, where their son, Rin, was born in 2003.

However, the couple soon faced many challenges and separated. Singh moved back to India, while Rin grew up in Japan without his father and lost all contact with his family.

Rin, now a student at the Osaka University of Arts in Japan, traveled to Punjab to reunite with his long-lost father. A video of the poignant moment when father and son hugged each other after nearly two decades apart has gone viral on social media, garnering emotional reactions from users.

Sukhpal Singh told ANI, "My son tirelessly searched for me using a photograph and by asking people about me. I can hardly believe I am meeting my son; it feels like a dream, and I hope it never ends."

He added, "Meeting my son was always in my heart; how could I ever forget him?"

A family tree project motivated Rin to find his father when he realized he had no connection with his father's side of the family. With just one photograph and the help of Google Maps, Rin was determined to find his father. Despite many challenges, Rin was finally able to rekindle a fresh relationship with his father on August 18.
