NEW DELHI: A video of a young Punjabi girl , Pihu, expressing her delight after visiting Kashmir captured hearts on social media. During a boat ride on the renowned Dal Lake , Pihu says, "Papa, Kashmir nahin hai, jannat hai jannat" (Father, this is not Kashmir, this is heaven), expressing her awe and admiration for the region's beauty. Hailing from Jalandhar , Punjab, Pihu explains that she requested her father to take her to a cooler place due to the sweltering temperatures in her hometown.
Her father suggested Kashmir as a destination with a mix of warm and cold weather, prompting the family to plan their trip to the valley. When her father inquires if she is enjoying the trip, Pihu enthusiastically responds, "Haan ji, bahut zyada (yes, very much)." She invites viewers to share their experiences, saying, "I love Kashmir.
I have come to Kashmir for the first time. Have you also come to Kashmir? Tell us in the comments." The video quickly went viral on social media, garnering thousands of views and numerous comments.
Many viewers have even suggested that Pihu should be appointed as the brand ambassador for Kashmir Tourism for her heartfelt words. The number of tourists visiting Dal Lake and nearby regions in Kashmir has risen, and this trend is anticipated to continue in the coming days.
