Remember the viral #FollowMeTo series on Instagram? Murad and Nataly Osmann, the genius minds behind @followmeto, travel the world and take beautiful pictures, giving us a glimpse into their love story.

Photographer Ganesh Venare and Aishwarya Sharma recreated the now-famous pose, but on a Mumbai beach which was filled with plastic and other trash.
