A recent Punjabi wedding video went viral, depicting the spectacle of cash raining down on the bride, leading to exaggerated claims that the groom's family showered her with 8.5 crores in cash. The wedding took place on February 14, decorated vibrantly with traditional music and dancing, and the cash raining was a part of the celebration moment, shared widely on social media. Despite these revelries, the reported amount quickly escalated into speculation and misinformation.

However, a clarification from the event manager and DJ responsible for collecting the cash revealed the total amount was closer to 4 lakhs, which included some foreign currency. They expressed confusion about how the figure of 'crores' came to be associated with the event, noting that such inflation of numbers distorted the true nature of the celebration.

This incident highlights the trend in local Indian weddings where extravagant displays of wealth often pique public interest but can lead to misconceptions and exaggerated reports in the age of social media. The marriage's joyful atmosphere contrasted starkly with the misleading narrative spun around the financial aspects of the event, underscoring the importance of accurate representation in reporting such celebrations.
