The happy couple tied the knot 89 years ago after meeting in India as teenagers. And since then they never spent a day apart. Their eight children said that they are proud to see their beloved parents celebrate almost a century of married life.
When asked about the secret of their long life, Mrs Chands said: “We have always eaten good wholesome food, there’s nothing artificial in our diet, things like butter, milk and yoghurt are what we like.
