In a tale that sounds like a plot twist from a movie, police in Karnataka, India, stumbled upon Nina Kutina and her two young daughters living in a cave, and it wasn’t for a survival reality show. Yes, you heard that right—a cave! The family had been enjoying solitude and spiritual vibes for over a week, meditating with candlelight and basking in nature’s embrace. Kutina, 40, claimed her love for adventure pulled her away from the touristy scenes of Goa where she previously worked as a tutor.
However, this dreamy escape hit a snag when the authorities discovered them during a routine patrol. Instead of a sun-soaked escape, it looks like the dream is turning into a visa nightmare. It turns out, living in isolation might not be the best strategy if you plan to stay in a foreign country, as they now face repatriation back to Russia. Kutina sent a heart-wrenching message to her friends, mourning their lost “peaceful life” in the cave—definitely not the Instagram-worthy retreat she envisioned.
This situation not only raises eyebrows but also invites a good chuckle. After all, how many of us have fantasized about ditching the hustle for a cave but didn’t think about the legalities?
