A viral video claiming that 8 crore rupees were showered on a bride during a Punjabi wedding has been shown to be exaggerated, with family members clarifying that the actual spending was much less.
Recently, a video surfaced on social media showing a Punjabi wedding where bundles of cash were allegedly showered on the bride, leading many to believe that the groom had thrown over 8 crore rupees. As the video went viral, it caught the attention of netizens and sparked debates about extravagance in weddings. However, this claim has been contested, with family members asserting that while money was indeed thrown during the celebration, the extravagant figure presented online is far from the truth.
Sikandar Singh, the groom's brother, clarified that the wedding, which took place on February 14, involved a display of cash but the total expenditure for the event was only around 2 lakh rupees. He mentioned that their brother operates a trucking business in Australia, providing context for the lavish nature of the celebration but indicating that the claims of spending 8 crores are greatly exaggerated. This misrepresentation highlights how social media can amplify and distort facts, leading to misunderstandings and sensationalism surrounding cultural practices.
Event managers and the DJ involved in the wedding also refuted these claims, corroborating the groom’s family’s statement about the actual costs involved. The incident not only illustrates the fascination with wealth displayed in Indian wedding traditions but also raises questions about the responsibility of social media users to verify facts before sharing sensational narratives.
