This kind of love perfectly fits the song by Hemanta Sharma, and it describes the bond between Bibek Pangeni and Srijana Subedi. Seeing this couple made everyone think, “This is what love should be like.”
No matter how near or far,
No matter how many enemies,
May the love never fade,
May it never break apart.
Despite life’s struggles, they created an unbreakable connection that became a story of true love, inspiring many households. Their story was a tale of pure love—free from physical attraction, transactions, or profit and loss—a selfless love that can only be felt.
However, this couple will never be seen together again. Bibek Pangeni, who was battling cancer, passed away recently. He was in the final stage of brain cancer and was undergoing treatment in a hospital in the U.S.
Bibek and Srijana weren’t celebrities, but their selfless love, sacrifice, and dedication touched many hearts. Especially Sirjana, who never let her husband feel a lack of hope, courage, or love. She made every effort to make his shrinking days as comfortable and joyful as possible.
She cared for him tenderly, made him laugh, played with him, and took him out when possible. In this, she found her happiness and fulfilled her aspirations.
Their love story became a lesson for many. Even patients struggling in the hospital found inspiration and courage from them, learning that suffering doesn’t mean giving up. They became an example of how to fight even minor illnesses with strength.
Bibek was battling a disease that medical science couldn’t fully cure—stage-four brain cancer, a painful and often fatal condition. While death was inevitable, they believed love, care, and encouragement could delay it.
Sirjana gave her all to keep her husband free from pain and filled him with the confidence to keep living. She never tired, never gave up, and never broke down.
Her sacrifice and dedication resonated deeply on social media. Photos and videos of their moments together, especially on TikTok, highlighted their story of love and devotion.
Originally from Rajapur, Bardiya, Bibek went to the U.S. 12 years ago on a full scholarship to study physics. However, his life took a tragic turn when, just five years later, his mother passed away from Parkinson’s disease. Shortly after completing her last rites in Nepal, Bibek was diagnosed with stage-four brain cancer.
His focus shifted from studies to treatment, which included surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation. Despite all efforts, his health deteriorated over time. Srijana supported him tirelessly, documenting their journey on TikTok, where they became known as an ideal couple.
Their videos, where Srijana danced with Bibek or cared for him, touched countless hearts, earning her the affectionate nickname “The lady who made her husband dance.”
As Bibek’s condition worsened, efforts to save him failed. With his passing, many have expressed their grief on social media.
Comedian Manoj Gajurel shared their photo, writing, “Heartfelt condolences to Bibek Pangeni. Your eternal love will be remembered for ages.” Another user wrote, “Though you passed the test of love and dedication, death still won. Death is the ultimate truth, but so hard to accept.”
It’s often said people die twice: once physically and the second time when forgotten. While Bibek Pangeni may be gone physically, he will live on in the memories of many.
