Most of are sitting in the comfort of our homes and cribbing about not being able to step out, right? If you thought your life was terrible, feel better reading what happened to Ria and Rohan. The couple went on a honeymoon to Maldives and were stuck inside their resort in South Male Atoll. What had to be a week’s holiday has now turned into an indefinite nightmare!

However, the newly-weds told Gulf News that they arrived in a business charter from Mumbai along with 12 others on June 25, after staying away from home for 105 days.  On 11 June, the couple took a direct flight to Mumbai, completed a 14-day quarantine and finally took a business charter to fly back to the UAE.

The couple went back home after a total of 105 days and they spent approximately 65,000 AED for the 2 of them including their stay at the confinement resort & the travel & flights back to Dubai. We hope this story inspires those who are still away from their home & families. Stay safe & stay positive.
