Samriddhi Mehra, one half of the popular influencer duo Chinki-Minki, recently shared a deeply personal revelation on the reality show 'Chhoriyan Chali Gaon'. She disclosed that she was unaware of having a twin sister, Surabhi, until the age of five. The twins, known for their humorous acts on Instagram and appearances on 'The Kapil Sharma Show', have garnered a significant following of 12 million.
Growing up in what she described as a very orthodox family, Samriddhi and Surabhi were separated shortly after birth. Surabhi was sent away, and Samriddhi remained with their mother. Samriddhi expressed that this separation was due to the perceived burden of having two daughters in the family. She poignantly stated, "Our family was so orthodox that they sent my sister away just because we were two girls".
Samriddhi revealed that she had no knowledge of Surabhi's existence during those early years. She shared, "I had no idea I even had a twin". This separation meant that Surabhi "never got to experience a mother's love during those early years". The sisters' reunion was the result of their mother's courageous fight against the family's restrictive beliefs. Samriddhi recounted, "But our mom stood up for us; she fought with the entire family to bring us together".
The emotional reunion occurred when Samriddhi was five years old. She recalled the day Surabhi came home, saying, "When she came home, I didn't even know I had a sister who looked exactly like me". This marked the beginning of an unbreakable bond between the twins. "Since that day, our bond has been unbreakable," Samriddhi affirmed. She emphasized the pivotal role their mother played in their lives, stating, "Our mom is everything for us".
The revelation by Samriddhi on 'Chhoriyan Chali Gaon' highlights the personal struggles and resilience that often lie beneath the surface of celebrity life. 'Chhoriyan Chali Gaon', hosted by Rannvijay Singha, features other popular celebrities such as Anita Hassanandani and Aishwarya Khare, as they experience rural life in Bamuliya. The show aims to reveal new facets of the contestants as they adapt to unfamiliar environments.
The story of Surabhi and Samriddhi's early separation and eventual reunion resonates deeply, showcasing the strength of familial bonds and the challenges faced by women due to societal norms. Samriddhi's heartfelt account serves as a reminder that behind the fame and success, there are often untold stories of personal journeys marked by both pain and triumph.
In July 2025, the twins announced their professional separation on Instagram, deciding to explore individual paths after years of collaboration. Despite this, their personal bond remains strong.
