We all have childhood friends from primary school that we are no longer in touch with. One girl took it upon herself to trace her friend from LKG just by her first name and a group photo from that class.
An Instagram user Neha (@heyyneha) made an Instagram account @finding_lakshita dedicated to tracking down her friend. “I’m on a mission to find my long lost childhood friend. Lakshita age – 21, her brother’s name was Kunal,” says the bio of this Instagram account.
Neha texted all the girls called Lakshita on Instagram and eventually found Lakshita Jetawal (@lakshita_jetawat)—the girl in the old school photograph.
Neha shared her successful online search journey for her long-lost friend in an Instagram video that has since raked up over 7.9 lakh likes. Neha wrote, “Finalllyyyyy!!! I found you Well….finding you wasn’t easy but I did it anyways HAHA! Getting it touch with you almost after 18 years feels unreal So I had a friend named “Lakshita” in LKG (2006). And she went to Jaipur so I lost contact with her I couldn’t even remember her surname And then…..”.
Commenting on it, an Instagram user wrote, “Acp pradyuman wants to know your location”. Another person remarked, “Literal definition of “if they wanted they would””.
People also commented about their own searches to reunite with their old friends. An Instagram user wrote, “I did same but not this picture thing I texted every areeba but unfortunately none of them is her because no one replied I hope i find her someday:(”.
