A video capturing an opulent exchange of gifts at a wedding in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, has ignited a social media storm, leaving online users astonished at the extravagant display of wealth between the bride and groom’s families.
Instagram user Vinit Bhati shared the viral video, revealing a man announcing an elaborate list of “gifts” during the ceremony. The man, reading from a paper, listed items that included a dining table, two cars, a Mercedes E-Class, a Toyota Fortuner, 1.25kg of gold, and 7kg of silver.
The video has sparked various reactions online, with some mocking the groom for what they perceive as a showy demonstration of wealth. Criticisms ranged from calling him a “begging bowl in disguise” to characterizing the event as more of a business transaction than a wedding.
Social media users expressing their disapproval questioned the legality of such gift exchanges, with some highlighting the potential violation of laws related to dowries. One user remarked, “This is a business, not a wedding,” while another raised concerns about the lack of intervention by authorities, questioning the legality of giving and receiving such extravagant dowries.
As the video continues to circulate, it has ignited a broader conversation about societal expectations and the implications of such ostentatious displays during wedding ceremonies.
