'I miss you'; Police officer's unexpected message for Onijah Robinson goes viral
In a recent viral video, Shabana Jilani, a police officer from Karachi, commented on a video posted by Onijah Robinson, an American woman who became a sensation in Pakistan and around the world.
In the comment, Shabana wrote: “Be happy always, Onijah. I miss you. Regards, Shabana.”
This sweet message quickly captured attention, not just for its heartfelt tone but also for the deep connection between the two women, which won the hearts of many. But what’s the story behind this unexpected bond?
Earlier this year, Shabana Jilani became an unlikely star when her compassionate interactions with Onijah Robinson went viral on TikTok. Onijah, who had travelled to Pakistan to marry a 19-year-old man she met online, found herself abandoned after her relationship took an unexpected turn. Her fiancé refused to marry her, leaving Onijah stranded and emotionally distressed.
When the police were called to assist, Shabana Jilani was asked to provide security and help. Despite the professional nature of her role, Shabana’s kind-hearted and compassionate approach won the admiration of many. Their interactions were filled with warmth and empathy.
Shabana recalled: “My first meeting with Madam Onijah took place at Jinnah Hospital when she was being admitted. We spoke in a good manner, and it was a good experience for both of us.”
Her approach went beyond duty. She made sure Onijah felt safe, offering her a shawl for warmth, and engaged with her on a personal level. This empathetic side of Shabana, a seasoned police officer who lost her husband in the line of duty, resonated with people worldwide. Her interactions revealed a softer, caring side of Pakistan’s law enforcement.
After spending over three months in Pakistan, Onijah returned to New York, but the bond between her and Shabana remained strong. As Onijah left Pakistan, she told Shabana: “I miss you so much, Shabana.”
Shabana cherishes these memories, saying: “Good memories, good times, and beautiful moments. Just as she remembers them, so do I.”
While Onijah’s journey was filled with ups and downs, from her rocky relationship with Nidal Memon to her viral moments and allegations of catfishing, her bond with Shabana Jilani stands out as a symbol of human connection and kindness in a challenging situation.
Shabana’s online comments only added to the growing admiration for their bond, showing that sometimes the most unexpected relationships leave lasting impressions.
