Meena and Minal: Best Friends to Biological Sisters
BBC News reports on an extraordinary story of two Indian-born women, Meena Geltink and Minal Tijssen, who were best friends for decades until a DNA test revealed a profound truth—they were biological sisters.
Two Indian babies, adopted by different families, found each other in the Netherlands in their teens and formed an instant bond. They exchanged letters, shared stories, and discovered mutual interests, calling each other "Sis." However, they lost touch after Minal moved to France and Meena had a child.
In 2017, Meena, curious about her heritage, took a DNA test but didn’t find any matches. She deleted the app, but a year later, a message from Minal on Facebook changed everything. Minal had taken a DNA test and the results confirmed they were 100% matches—sisters.
Their emotional reunion, as described by Reuters, was filled with tears, hugs, and laughter, marking the completion of a missing piece in their hearts.
