In February 2023, Seema applied for an Indian Visa to meet Sachin, and while Sachin submitted copies of his Aadhaar card to address this, Seema failed to get the document signed by a government officer due to which her application was rejected. Sachin and Seema came to know that Indian citizens did not require a visa to travel to Nepal, hence they chose to meet there in March 2023. Seema left her children in Pakistan, and they met for the first time on 10 March 2023 in Nepal.
Following their meeting, they got married at Pashupatinath Temple. They spent a week together in a hotel in Nepal after which Seema went back to Pakistan, while Sachin returned to India.

On 29 June 2023, the couple went to a lawyer in Bulandshahr to legally get married; however, the lawyer was surprised when he saw that Seema had a Pakistani passport, so he alerted the police.
